An intimate, richly stained paneled study reflects its purpose with built-in bookcases with storage and handsome hardwoods floor the room. The study is also highlighted by a granite-surrounded fireplace, with a wood-carved mantle, a bronze chandelier, and a large window, with elegant drapery, overlooks the front landscaped grounds. The study allows entrance to the luxurious, oversized master suite, which showcases a graceful 14-foot tray ceiling, a large sitting area, bay windows with elegant silk taffeta drapery, neutral carpeting, and built-ins. Sliding doors conveniently open to an enclosed screened patio, which leads to the backyard grounds and features brick flooring and a heater.

A door also opens to the outdoors and a spiral staircase leads to the first level of living. Five additional second and third floor bedrooms range in size and style, all with large walk-in closets and are served by five elegant baths.
