The living room features an eye-catching stone fireplace w/ decorative shelving & a bifold door that opens into the one-of-a-kind family room. This space was added on as an addition allowing for a breath-taking stone wall to accent this room.

Entertain w/ its kitchenette that features an indoor grill, a great outdoor patio through the glass sliding door and a woodburning retro wood stove, a focal point to the room, to stay warm in the cooler months.
