The Space:
This grand, recently furnished home offers spaces for everyone to gather, as well as quiet nooks for intimate conversations. The "Grand Game Room" features a pool table, big-screen TV, board game table, and a separate video gaming area. On the front side of the house, a spacious living room, separate TV room, and large semi-formal dining room await.

The home's unique "tower room" offers stunning 360-degree views and is the perfect spot to read, converse, work, or play.
