With more than 2,500 square feet of living space spread out on three levels and walls of windows throughout, the design makes the most of the view. A contemporary-inspired floor plan revolves round a central living room with a dining, sitting and kitchen area to the left and study/office to the right. The second level is anchored by a central loft living area flanked by a master bedroom and two additional family rooms. The lower level houses a family room, exercise room and two additional bedrooms.</span></span></span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height:115%;font-family: "Times New Roman";mso-bidi-Times New Roman"font-family:";font-size:16.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>     </div>

A covered entry and spacious foyer fronts a large living area with fireplace. To the right are public spaces including a large kitchen with expansive island and nearby dining as well as powder room and laundry. The right side of the house includes a sunny screened porch, master suite and delightful garden room, which occupies the bay window seen in the home’s front façade.
