Inside, an open floor plan brings together the sitting room, kitchen, and a sizable main living area crowned by 2-story vaulted ceilings and a massive masonry stone wood-burning fireplace. Sliding doors extend the experience to an open deck, with additional large decks on both main and lower levels for unhurried mornings and lingering evenings. The primary suite rests on the main level; upstairs, two guest bedrooms share a bath. Downstairs, a casual living area with full bar, second masonry fireplace, game room, and extra bedroom and bath invites easy gathering year-round.
