The driveway gently winds to the fabulous house site. The house is energy efficient and beautifully designed with a gracious floor plan and tall ceilings. The interior is light, bright and airy. The interior flows gently to the outside spaces and views. The covered entry opens to a large foyer with a handsome staircase. On the main level is a dramatic great room with a fireplace, herring bone flooring, columns and access to the porch.
