Enter from the street through a very elegant mahogany doorway with beveled crystal artistically set in stained glass fashion with brass piping and 2 side panels of the same fashion.
The house has a total of six bedrooms and six baths. A luxurious master bedroom w/cathedral ceiling is located at the far end of the foyer entry (bedroom level). This main master bedroom has a large balcony/porch with tall, double French doors which are straddled by large windows allowing the powerful sea breeze to fill the room. The entire side of the bedroom is all glass which then leads to a large bathroom with a double, glass enclosed shower and a separate Jacuzzi tub set in a triple bay window making you feel like you are suspended over the bay.

The foyer has a cathedral ceiling finished in natural tone with matching brass and crystal light fixture haging in the middle.
Two childrens' bedrooms with cathedral ceiling and bathroom between them are located in the center. All rooms have a spectacular view of the bay, keys and reef. A second master bedroom with cathedral ceiling is to the right of the foyer with a spectacular view of the bay, keys and reef.
The kitchen is equipped with a stainless steel semi-industrial cook top under a matching hood trimmed in brass. There are two Bosch ovens – convection and microwave, a Bosch dishwasher and a side by side refrigerator and matching upright freezer and a chest freezer in the pantry. An island with prep-sink is in the center of the kitchen providing a lot of working counter space, There is a huge walk-through pantry with one door to each side of the fridge/freezer combination.
The ceiling is 10 ft high, and is higher in the upper level where it is vaulted. The house is designed for passive cooling with ample cross-ventilation. Every room has at least one top-of-the-line Hunter ceiling fan ... larger rooms have two. Between the sea breeze and the fans, air conditioning is seldom used. The bedrooms and the TV room all have split unit A/C's except for the guest room which is near the kitchen. It has a wall unit.
The house is set on a 3/10 of an acre lot. The neighbors in front would need to build 10 stories high to block the view. The adjoining lot is 3/8 of an acre with a similar view and topography. The lots are covered with oak trees and other lush tropical vegetation and the house yard is nicely landscaped. The land behind the house descends steeply affording an unobstructed view over the canopy of trees placing the house at the level where the parrots fly by every morning and afternoon.
