Balcony resurfacing was completed in 2023, and the lower-level media and flex space with wet bar opens to the waterfront terrace. A 2025 outdoor tram provides convenient access to the private boat dock extended in 2022 with boat lift and upgraded electrical, offering quick access to calm cove waters and open-lake boating. Additional improvements include a geothermal HVAC system installed in 2024 for energy-efficient comfort.
