On a cul-de-sac, this comfortable waterfront offers multiple living areas with three bedrooms, two full and one-half baths on the main.

The second level offers two bedrooms, one as an ensuite, with two full baths, a den, and kitchenette.

The entire home is also equipped with an extensive, professionally integrated smart-home system. Savant automation provides centralized control of audio and visual, complemented by Lutron lighting controls throughout.
