The main living area of the home is above the trees, the bedrooms are below. The ground level has two bedrooms and a bath, utility room, and entrance to an enclosed stairway and elevator.  This photo was taken from the roof of a home between our place and the ocean. You can see the Matanzas Marshes, the Intracoastal Waterway, and the Florida mainland in the background. The trees in the area are primarily live oak, camphor, and palmettoes.
