On the opposite end of the loggia, the formal dining room centers on a marble fireplace and easily accommodates 14 guests. Doric columns flanking the entrances to both the living room and dining room further highlight the exceptional millwork found throughout the house. Through the living room, double doors introduce the magnificent, mahogany paneled library. Floor to ceilings mahogany shelves and cabinets provide abundant options for the even the most ardent bibliophile. A marble fireplace in Verde Antico marble provides a focal point for fireside reading and conversations.

Custom cabinets, professional appliances by Wolfe, Sub Zero and Miele, and polished nickel fixtures make this an entertainer's dream. An oversized island handcrafted in vintage pine provides an exceptional workspace as well as a discrete place for beverage drawers. In the adjoining breakfast room, artisan craftsmen created an impressive floor to ceiling cabinet in the same vintage pine which wraps the room to accommodate the most enthusiastic china collector.
