Beautiful arched doorways, detailed moulding and 9ft tall ceilings give the main living areas an inviting sense of openness, while the thoughtfully designed floor plan keeps everyday living easy and connected. The foyer with a 12ft ceiling opens to a formal dining room with a graceful arched entry.
