A welcoming covered front porch sets the tone as you enter the foyer thru the Farrow & Ball French blue doors, brick flooring and Nantucket inspired millwork. This expansive ranch with southern exposure naturally lights up the entire house as the formal living with picturesque windows showcases the breathtaking views of the expansive grounds & tennis court.
