Configured as one voluminous, open space, this floor also offers a dining area with access to the rear exterior patio and the ocean-facing living section of the home. Below, the primary suite is a sanctuary of luxury, boasting a linear fireplace, an office alcove, dual closets, and a spa-like bath with a soaking tub positioned before a picture window.
