Entering the house via the side Portico, you enter the Foyer at the lowest level of a 3 story tower. Ahead are the Drawing Room and Small Drawing Room with access to the Library and Dining Room, both of which access the Garden Veranda. Through pocket doors, you access the Kitchen, which also has access to the garden veranda and the Foyer.
On the second floor, you enter a large Living Hall, off which are the Master Suite with its Juliet Balcony, plus 2 Guest Rooms with Veranda access and a shared Bath.
The top floor of the tower serves as an open-air Observatory that can be used for entertaining, or for getting away from it all.
The two sets of pocket doors are commanded by just one on each set and the double doors throughout are the same. All can be reset by the owner to change the length of time they remain open, the range of opening, and access.
