engage with the outside world with ease.
"It's super central to everything," the home-
owner adds, pointing how the location is
ideal for those who wish to entertain, but
also be near shops, schools and the beach.
Double-height ceilings and wide hall-
ways emphasize the home's airy scale,
which extends to a sprawling basement.
"All of the home's eight bedrooms are junior
suites, each with its own bathroom and
walk-in closet," notes Gauss. Notable is
the primary suite, which occupies a wing
of its own on the uppermost floor, and
features a wall of sliding glass that links
it to a spacious patio. Here, a dramatic fire
feature illuminates the sitting area after-
dark, while a red-light infrared sauna and
Peloton bike add a fresh-air spa feel. "You
can work out," says Gauss, "or hop in the
sauna, then hang out and relax a little bit."
It's like the home itself, with its easygo-
ing flow of between different environments.
The kitchen, for instance, calls family to
gather informally around the elevated
central island—while steps away is an
elegant dining area. A calm upstairs study
features built-in desks and nooks, while a
glamorous lounge and full bar on the main
floor, with glowing cabinets and a mirror
that transforms into a TV, is a magnet for
after-dark guests to congregate.
By skillful design, spaces are communal
yet distinct, enabling a family to experi-
ence the home in a multitude of ways. Like
enjoying peaceful morning light streaming
through the central skylight, or spending
joyful hours outdoors and watching the
rays of sunset strike the jewel-hued pool.
"This home is special," describes Gauss,
"because it feels like it's your own vacation
oasis that you get to wake up to every day."
"All of the home's eight bedrooms are junior suites, each with its
own bathroom and walk-in closet," notes Gauss.
