The main building houses the living room, dining area, two bedrooms, two and a half bathrooms and kitchen. A pool deck extends beyond this to the master bedroom building, containing two additional bedrooms. Under the carport is the East Wing, featuring two extra rooms with 10’ ceilings that serve as a media room and library.
Each bedroom is air conditioned and features custom built wood closets and shelving.
