One sizeable and elongated room contains the family room, informal eating space and kitchen. The family room is delineated by one single exposed ceiling beam, a short knee wall and distinctive set of windows.

The stacked-stone fireplace with a raised hearth and white trim mantel encasement provides just the right amount of traditional intent. Broad windows are assembled across the back wall making for a great view and the option for natural lighting to come in.
