Walk-in closets and gorgeous new designer bath with tiger wood and granite twin vanity, steam shower, and water closet complete this romantic suite. Six additional bedrooms enjoying water views, and 4 sparkling new designer baths, some with glass-tile walls and ceilings, provide ample space for all. A dramatic new powder room adds an oriental touch.
