On the 2nd floor, the primary has a large bath and double walk-in closets that will satisfy any clothes horse, two other large bedrooms share a connecting bath. The 3rd floor has an oversized space (could easily be a spacious bedroom)with a fabulous turret room and a full bath as an added bonus. In the lower level, you'll find an awesome billiards room and a half bath. For added convenience, there is an elevator from the garage up to the other floors. A generator provides peace of mind for whatever Mother Nature throws your way. The large parking pad out front is a rarity and an excellent amenity on the island. Whimsea is a very special offering. Make your dream a reality.
