Both bedrooms on this level have nearly floor-to-ceiling windows, and the wood-paneled staircase has an oversized window with a display ledge beneath. The carpeted, at-grade lower level has another pair of bedrooms and a rec room with a brick fireplace wall adjacent to a wall of stacked windows and access to a covered patio. The backyard has a stone pond, terraced garden areas, and a shed.
