Immediately in-front is the large living room, grounded by a beautiful fireplace, television, and offering a center point to the homes many areas and wings. Each wing has a bedroom with queen size bed and a bathroom, one with a shower, the other with a bath / shower combo.
The rear of the home has a jewel of a kitchen, with top grade appliances and polished stone counters. A small seating area is adjacent for chatting with the cook. This is open to the large and airy great room, with a big dining table and further comfortable seating.
