The panoramic views this home affords are ever-changing with the tides, providing an active, mesmerizing view of ships, sailboats, and more, all with the security of never being obstructed.
With just three owners in its history, the property’s character has been well-preserved with exquisite architectural details including original hand-carved doors from Central America, wrought iron gates, and rare hardware.

The living room features original hewn beamed ceiling and hand-planked, hardwood floors, grand wood-carved chandelier custom built in Mexico, large fireplace and large windows framing views that are second-to-none of the garden, bay, ocean and Mexico. The dining room faces west with a dramatic backdrop of lush landscape and mature trees.
A butler’s pantry, breakfast room, kitchen, den, and laundry room complete the first level.
