In addition to the stately stone hearth fireplace, vaulted ceilings and dramatic wood beams enhance the space. The formal dining room and family room capture sweeping city light views that become even more spectacular after sunset. Just off the kitchen and family room, a permitted 650 square foot (13'x50') enclosed patio offers additional space to entertain or enjoy the surrounding views.
