You have a huge home office and theatre which is strategically positioned away from the opulent living area. Butlers’ pantry and walk in pantry becomes the dynamic duo for the kitchen area, with ample living areas for all family members to indulge in. The master suite is huge as is the Hollywood style dressing room.” The piece de resistance is the staircase which is impressive and eye catching. The walk in linen, off the bathroom on the first floor is such a handy and logical design decision. I am sure it has been a crowd-pleaser.”
