A graciously proportioned living room with original fireplace and paneling evokes an earlier time. A formal dining room with an arched ceiling has long views to Thousand Acre Lake. An informal dining space has hand-painted murals depicting the property that grace all four walls. Just off the formal living room is a more casual space with cathedral ceilings that is a perfect gathering spot for family and for entertaining.

Beautifully manicured fields and light woods lead to a stone-surrounded gunite pool and onward to the tennis courts.
