Enter the glass elevator to ascend to the 2,200 SQFT primary suite level which invites you to complete tranquility and peace with luxury spa features that rival the finest homes and hotels in the world. Multiple seating areas allow for views of the Harbor and courtyard. Custom furnishings and lighting, along with an expansive spa bathroom with two grand walk-in closets. These modern luxuries blend seamlessly with the home's historic past.
