Thoughtfully placed skylights and sun tunnels brighten the interior while front and rear porches extend living outdoors. A cathedral ceiling tops the great room and island kitchen, visually expanding the open living space. A fireplace and built-in shelves enhance the great room while a skylight brings natural light into the kitchen. The spacious dining room is topped with a box tray ceiling and enjoys a buffet nook for dinner parties.
