The interior graciously boasts stained wide-hardwood floors, open floor plan, massive windows and French doors allowing natural light to permeate every room. Remarkable features/spaces inc. Studio, Master Suite, Kitchen, Baths, reclaimed antique hardwood floors & doors, repurposed hardware, custom millwork, cable railings, original greenhouse, 4 car garage/studio, Intelliturf/pool setting, niche interior loft and iconic Silo w/ leaded copper roof.
