The impeccable interior showcases many blue ribbon appointments, including rich timber and parquetry floors, imported carpets and linoleum, coffer ceiling, and unique architectural elements. The elegant interior incorporates a designer kitchen with quality appliances, butler's pantry, and light-filled meals atrium, formal lounge with open fireplace and bay window, generous dining room, inviting library, and a spectacular music room with timber acoustic ceiling and views in every direction.
