The quality of cabinetry, finishes, fixtures, and hardware are of the highest caliber. The 3 bedroom suites in the main house, each with their own bathroom are appropriately scaled and their locations offer private sanctuaries from the common living area.An oversized 3 car garage with ample cabinetry and separate 551 sf recording studio are situated on the westerly wing of the home.
