Family mealtimes are encouraged by taking advantage of the expansive seating options at the sizable dining table, the spacious island/bar and the bistro seating area on the oceanfront deck. Completing this fabulous top level, is a powder room, a wet bar with a wine chiller, a master bedroom suite with a private bathroom, and for off-season stays, a cozy, oceanside, gas fireplace. The open floor concept was designed for extended families in mind and offers several options for getting comfortable and relaxing. The endless natural light that floods every room in the house creates a peaceful and serene setting. There is enough room on the main level for everyone to settle in and be part of everything, yet still have their own space. For more entertainment, head down to the first floor and find a home theater to watch your favorite movie. Or shoot a game of pool on the full-sized pool table. A large kitchenette is convenient for food and drinks and a seating area makes relaxing in this space effortless. This floor also has a powder room, a bedroom with a private bathroom, a laundry room, an owner's closet, a garage with a mini gym, and access to the outdoor private pool. The private pool was intentionally designed to sit on the westside of the property. This protects it from filling up with blowing sand and also maximizes an entire day of fun in the sun and gives a direct view of the sun setting in the west. The Bluetooth, outdoor speaker system streams music just the way you want it. For the shade lovers, there is maximum square footage of sun protection, on the middle and top floor covered decks, overlooking the ocean. The convenient, private boardwalk to the beach, with a foot washing station, is embellished with a nice seating area, at the top of the dunes, for sightseeing.
