The impressive foyer is illuminated by enormous windows, as well as diffused natural light filtering through a frosted glass ceiling/second-level flooring. The adjacent stairwell features railing panels of solid glass and a striking red chandelier inspired by celebrated glass artist, Dale Chihuly. The entry area also includes an elevator, powder room, and access to the 1,500 sq. ft. 3-car garage.((The main floor living areas are grand and spacious, offering stunning views to the outside from nearly every angle. A gourmet Italian-designed kitchen, a large entertainment room, and an open-concept living and dining area complete the downstairs interior.
