Double glass doors lead into a private media room with adjustable lighting, perfectly suited for movie nights or use as an additional guest suite. Outdoor living is simply magical. The lower level opens to a screened porch and patio where you can relax, entertain, or dine surrounded by the sounds of nature. Follow the softly lit pathway through the woods to a stunning flagstone fire pit patio—an enchanting setting for evenings under the stars with family and friends.
