The massive 25 x23 living room with 10-foot coffered ceilings is perfect for formal entertaining of large parties. Stunning windows on both the south and north walls bring light flowing into this gracious great hall. The library is finished in warm wood paneling-a haven for avid readers. Hardwood floors, crown and cove moldings embellish all of the formal rooms on the first floor. The "State of the art kitchen" has been updated and improved.
