Aside from a large bonus room upstairs, this is a single-story home.
The primary suite is on the opposite side of the house from the other 3 bedrooms. The open living space is central with the large living/family room opening up onto a spacious lanai.
While the layout is decent and includes a dining room and study it’s the quality of the interior design throughout that makes this house a head-turner.
If you’re reading this, you already saw the many interior photos above which are nothing short of stunning. the soaring fireplace in the middle of the great room creates a little separation, but more importantly it’s a show-stopper.
And did you see the primary bedroom with a cathedral ceiling? It’s stunning.
This is a very interesting mix of craftsman style but done in a way to create cottage-like home.
