The sophisticated living room features a custom limestone mantelpiece flanked by a striking triptych of mirrored panels which reflect the light from French doors into the garden. Additional details include custom bookshelves and antique French oak floors laid in a herringbone pattern. Steps away, a fabulous three-season porch enclosed in screened arches overlooking the Marsh Walk offers additional room for dining, entertaining and relaxing.
