Overlooking the golf course, the deck comes complete with bar and is ideal for entertaining during the summer months. A fireplace adds to the decor of the light and airy modern living room with an intimate dining area in view. Tastefully decorated in shades of burgundy, the spacious master bedroom-sitting room, comes complete with a king size bed. Access to the deck is also available from this room.
Stuffed animals, a stereo and rainbow complement 15-year-old Deanna's room, while son Jim's room is typical of an 18-year-old. A glass top table and gray carpeting highlight the dining area, adjacent to the kitchen.
