Kitchen
The large kitchen is a dream for entertainers with custom cabinetry, a centre island with white marble counters and an AGA stove.

The huge window stretching nearly wall-to-wall gives pride of place to the gorgeous water views. The fireplace, one of seven, adds a touch of cosiness to the master suite.
Landing
Every space is utilised in the home as seen here with extra lounging space behind the stairs. The home feels airy and bright thanks to the skylights, windows and verandahs. The gorgeous home is listed at Sotheby’s International Reality for US$11.8-million.
