Terrace Boasts Patio & Pool

Yes, it's true -- the property includes a terrace with a swimming pool! Because it's built right into the cliff, the water feature almost seems to blend into the horizon.

Swimming Pool Surrounded By Plants

Flowers and agave plants surround the pool, providing greenery and texture. A smooth stone deck gives the owners room to sunbathe as well.

Palm Trees for Tropical Touch

Palm trees decorate the landscape, too, and further the sense of a tropical paradise. From up here, the owners can watch as yachts and other boats sail in.

Sailboats Glide Across the Lake

There's something so relaxing about watching sailboats glide across the water. On especially sunny days, the owners can see for miles across the lake.

Scenic Views of Lakeside Town

Though the penthouse feels like it exists in a world all its own, a short walk will take the owners right into town. The brightly colored buildings along the shore make for a picture-perfect view.

Seamless Transition Into Living Room

Retractable doors create a seamless transition into the living room. Here, two matching white sofas ensure plenty of room for guests, while light blue pillows pull in colors from the water.

Sofas Establish Symmetry and Balance

From this side of the room, the sofas both provide a touch of symmetry and frame views of the balcony. An asymmetrical coffee table anchors the space and keeps glasses within easy reach.

Penthouse Boasts Open Floor Plan

On the other side of the sofas, a long table with several barstools creates a formal dining space. The dark wood of this vignette perfectly complements the accent wall, which becomes a focal point for the open layout.

Family Room & Other Features

Just a few steps from the living room, a large sectional and fireplace create a comfortable space to unwind after a long day. In addition to the balcony, sitting area and dining space, the penthouse also features four bedrooms and four baths.

Master Suite With Spa Bathroom

To make the master suite feel open and airy, the architects eschewed a traditional wall in favor of twin columns. On the other side, a large soaking tub and glass-enclosed shower create a spa-like bathroom.
