Inside, you’re greeted by one of the home's most captivating features, the private interior courtyard. This skylit stone-paved atrium is wrapped on all sides by the home itself, lush with tropical plantings and accessible from multiple rooms, it functions as an outdoor sanctuary that is completely your own. The formal living room is a beautiful place to gather with friends and family, enjoy quiet conversation, or settle in with a good book and cup of coffee beneath exposed timber beams and natural wood-look flooring. Adjacent, the light-filled dining room elevates holidays and celebrations with space for up to 12 guests, walls with panel molding, custom built-ins, crown molding, and a designer chandelier.
