A grove of trees on the west side of the house, cooled by a gentle breeze and a peaceful outlook gives the term 'outdoor room' a whole new expression.

All windows except for the picture windows of the great room are dressed with shutters for easy and quick light adjustment.

Off the kitchen, going to the garage, is a separate full bathroom (large shower), and a large laundry complete with built in cupboards, ironing board and a laundry chute. The kitchen looks out over the breakfast bar to both the breakfast room and the great room, and presents a beautiful view of the lake and wilderness at the back of the house. The house is fully wired with speakers in every ceiling, phones in every room including the Master closet and bathroom, a full alarm system, and a double cable TV run for high signal strength internet access from one line and regular TV from the other. Up the grand staircase, a flyway connects the smaller of two rooms in a Jack and Jill to the main upstairs landing which leads to a balcony study which looks out over the great room. The smaller room of the Jack and Jill is connected through a full bathroom to an upstairs companion bedroom as large as the master bedroom with a full walk-in closet.
