The residence includes five living areas, two of which have Saltillo-tiled entertainment spaces, one opening onto a covered patio with a fountain. The home’s oak hardwood plank flooring, two gas fireplaces with oak surrounds, and a study with built-in bookcases add warmth and character to the spacious interiors.
