At the room's focal point, a wood burning fireplace framed with handmade ceramic tiles faces a bay window that fills the room with warm southern light. A sun filled den, perfect for relaxing and reading, adjoins the Living Room's eastern point and to the right, is a formal Dining Room with custom made oak built-ins, authentically executed in the Arts and Crafts style. A hallway leads from the Dining Room to the chef's Kitchen, which features professional grade appliances, concrete countertops, custom oak cabinetry, and floors of hand-made Italian tiles. The Kitchen hallway provides access to a screened in porch overlooking a beautifully landscaped garden with underground timed irrigation system and outdoor shower.
