A fireplace in the Great Room will crackle in Winter as you gaze out the walls of glass, warming your body and spirit. The rest of the year you will enjoy the numerous patios and seating areas outside - one with a massive beamed pergola which will give you the feeling of dining alfresco in Tuscany.
