Multiple ensuite bedrooms provide privacy and comfort for family and guests, while a dedicated theater is designed for an immersive entertainment experience, featuring custom wood detailing, cove lighting, a convenient minibar, surround sound, and a sophisticated cinematic atmosphere. Outdoors, the estate transforms into a private resort. The expansive pool and raised spa are complemented by dramatic water features and lush tropical landscaping, creating an atmosphere of serenity and seclusion. A fully equipped outdoor kitchen with built-in grill, hood, generous preparation areas, and service space makes year-round entertaining effortless. Expansive pool decking provides abundant room for lounging and entertaining, while the covered lanai—with decorative beams and multiple ceiling fans—offers a sophisticated extension of the home’s interior living spaces.

Value check
Is the price right?
The internet’s favorite home-value number comes from a single automated model that has never seen the street, the finishes, or the view — which is why it routinely misses by tens of thousands of dollars. The edgeAI estimate combines multiple independent data sources with our team’s on-the-ground expertise in this exact market.
