A classic wood-burning fireplace adds warmth and character to the cozy wood paneled den with charming French doors opening to bayfront views. With six spacious bedrooms, six full bathrooms, and two additional half baths, this home offers exceptional comfort and ample space to accommodate family and guests with ease.
