To the left is the dramatic and spacious formal dining room, also sunken. French doors from the dining room lead to a charming courtyard. With the large dining room and adjacent kitchen that includes a walk-in pantry and very functional island, entertaining friends and family is a breeze. The ground floor master suite, with its sitting area, wet bar, and French doors to the backyard pool is reminiscent of a four- star resort! Cathedral ceilings serve to enhance the feeling of spaciousness throughout the house.Upstairs you'll find a loft that can serve as a sitting room, or office, two spacious bedrooms, each with a small balcony, and a large bath with a dual vanity.
