The architectural details in both the living room and dining room are spectacular with an elevated finishing touch - coffered ceilings in the living room and tray ceiling in the gorgeous dining room - and large windows for plenty of sunlight- all ideal for entertaining! Wonderful kitchen with Taj Mahal quartzite, island and breakfast bar stools as well as a built-in banquette, and a separate built-in bar with beverage refrigerator - adjacent to the family room - a natural gathering spot for family.
