The spacious great room with its high ceilings and wall to wall French doors (4 sets) allows for plenty of natural light and creates that wonderful indoor outdoor feeling where a large outdoor patio with lounge chairs, table and umbrella, gas grill calls out to you to relax and be on vacation.

The living room area with its warm palate of Chinese red, burnt sienna, rust, and accents of ocean blue bring a harmonious pleasing balance to the senses. There is a large sectional couch with a chaise and two swivel rocker chairs that allow for both TV viewing and watching the fire or enjoying each other's company. Near by is a table that seats 6 and can expand to 10 where games can be played and meals enjoyed without feeling you have left the party.

The dream chef's kitchen is fully equipped to prepare a gourmet meal and the

kitchen island/bar has 3 comfortable swivel stools that are great for conversing with the cook, reading the newspaper or just hanging out. An energy efficient brand new washer and dryer are located between the kitchen and the wine/dining room.

In the cabinets one can find everything you could possibly need to set a beautiful table with coordinating placemats, tablecloths, napkins, china, stemware and decorative platters and bowls.

On the first floor are 3 bedrooms that can all be made into king beds with a memory foam topper or 2 twins in each room allowing for maximum flexibility. A total of 5 couples or 8 singles in beds and 2 in aero beds can be accommodated.

All beds have brand new mattresses and luxury linen and plenty of closet space. Each of bedrooms has been decorated with its own unique décor with earth toned colors of beige, chocolate, rust, choral and cream to coordinate with the rest of the house.

The spacious bathroom has a bath/shower combination with plush towels and amenities. The Den has a queen sofa bed with memory foam topper and HDTV /blue ray perfect for the kids to watch a favorite show or movie.

Next to the French doors is a small desk and chair that provides a place to write, catch up on emails.

There is a wonderful deck with a bistro table to sit and enjoy a morning cup of coffee or amazing sunset glass of wine and watch the day turn into night with a blaze of colors that matches the gorgeous duvet cover and color theme of this romantic room.
