Further down the arcade, a keeping room connects to the French-inspired kitchen. This is where everyone gathers. The kitchen and keeping room relate to the family room and loggia through the arcade and provide a space for entertaining that is open and comfortable. This kitchen has a very natural yet expansive feel, with its wood flooring and high beamed ceilings. The custom cabinetry and marble countertops add to its elegance.

The arcade culminates with the family room. Which is intended to be the primary gathering space in the house. Large enough for entertaining with plenty of comfortable seating, timbered ceilings, a patterned oak floor and a French limestone fireplace with an overmantel add texture and authenticity to the space. Large windows provide a panoramic view of the lavishly landscaped back yard. The family room is as much an extension of the keeping room and kitchen as it is an informal gathering space.

The master suite provides for a space that combines comfort, function, privacy, and luxury. The master bedroom and bath become a retreat, a place to indulge and relax away from the rest of the house. One is first struck by the architectural details of the master bath and dressing room. Her closet is meticulously organized by design; his closet is equally well planned. Both providing specialized storage for wardrobe and accessories as well as providing intimate dressing areas.
