The upstairs bath occupies the top level of the turret and includes dual sinks, cabinetry, granite countertops, a walk-in shower with beveled glass, Italian terrazzo tile, and wide ocean views. The spacious primary bedroom offers whitewater views from both the bed and private balcony, along with a walk-in closet and additional hidden closets.

The garage structure also includes a functional bathroom and additional laundry facility. The home is heated by a modern, ultra-efficient hydronic fan-coil system.
