The main level is anchored by a grand formal foyer that opens to a spacious formal living room with seamless access to the front lanai, perfect for indoor outdoor entertaining. Soaring 10 1/2 foot ceilings construct volume and scale in every room. A richly detailed formal dining room, adorned with hand painted Gracie wallpaper, sets the stage for refined gatherings.
