Under the roof of the 348 m2 (3,745 sq. ft.) home you will find 2 very large bedrooms and bath, open Great Room/kitchen/dining and a separate casita, which has its own bedroom, kitchen and bath. The home was well designed to provide constant fresh airflow and ambient natural lighting. From the custom travertine tile flooring to the handcrafted paint on the walls of each room you sense that distinctive flavor of Tuscany. The Great room features a large wood-burning fireplace, custom built-in bookshelves and a large, versatile living space.

You will find plenty of storage in the cabinets under the granite topped kitchen island/breakfast bar and plenty of wall space above should you desire more. One of the more outstanding features of this Great room are the magnificent set of 4 tall, rich wood double doors that open out to enjoy the lush landscaped grounds and courtyard fountain. The covered terraced just outside the great room offers the perfect spot to relax, sip after-dinner drinks or coffee and take in the melodious sounds of the fountain.
