Approximately half of the space is family oriented and intimate. . . . . the other half more formal and spacious. All share a view of the golf course though a screened multi-level terrace which includes a swimming pool and spa.
Sculpted white interior spaces feature brown marble floors, ledges and built-in furniture. Beige wool carpeting, cool off white fabrics and toned leathers compliment the crisp simplicity of the architecture.
