Inside, vaulted ceilings in the main living areas create an open and airy ambiance, while wide-plank European oak floors throughout the home add elegance and durability. A 14-foot panoramic sliding door creates a natural indoor-outdoor flow from the living and dining spaces to the numerous patio areas and curated gardens beyond inviting quiet mornings in the sun or relaxed evenings under the stars.
