A dramatic double-height foyer leads into the elegant living room, which opens to a deep-covered and heated poolside portico that stretches the full width of the house and offers ample space for lounging, dining, and entertaining. Off the living room is a bright, window-lined family room that extends into a gorgeous wood-wet bar. Also, open to the living room is the formal dining room, with another fireplace and table seating for ten guests. The country kitchen is a professional chef's dream, with two islands, a large pot hanger, Carrera marble countertops, bar seating, Viking, Wolf, and Miele appliances, a walk-in pantry, abundant cabinet space, and a charming breakfast area with a skylight and garden windows.
