The open concept design is intentional, maximizing natural light while seamlessly connecting interior living spaces to the surrounding scenery. This unique two bedroom, two and a half bathroom floor plan offers noticeably more living space than similar units on higher floors due to the architectural shape of the building, creating a larger and more functional layout that is rarely available. The guest suite is exceptionally spacious and currently accommodates two queen Murphy beds, a standup desk, and dedicated space for yoga and fitness, making it larger than many primary suites within the building. The guest bathroom is positioned just off the suite, while an additional half bath near the entry foyer allows for effortless hosting of both long term guests and everyday entertaining. The primary suite serves as a true retreat, offering generous proportions with an oversized layout that provides more than enough space for a king sized bed, a dedicated office or desk setup, or an additional sitting area. The spa inspired bathroom is designed for both comfort and privacy. Two private balconies provide front row access to morning sunrises and vibrant Arizona sunsets reflected across the water. The kitchen is both functional and refined, anchored by a waterfall island and designed to flow seamlessly into the main living and dining areas.
