A wall of built-ins that surrounds a large aquarium separates the dining room and living room. The living room overlooks the front and side yards, and the dining room, which is open to the gallery, has scenic views of the side yard.

Renovated by the current owners, the huge kitchen, which is open to the family room, has an island, breakfast bar seating, concrete floors (which are found throughout the first floor), and a breakfast room that overlooks the back yard and opens to the side/pool yard.

Views of the screened back porch and double doors opening to the porch are among the highlights in the family room that has a fireplace a beautiful ceiling treatment.

The large screened porch is lovely and spacious, and provides another area for enter- taining or relaxing.

The upstairs gallery, with its wall of built-ins on one side, includes the library and art gallery.

Also upstairs is a large game room that could also be used as another bedroom. The game room has access to a charming screened porch that Baer said is reminiscen­t of old sleeping porches.

The master suite is on the second floor and includes a bedroom with surroundin­g views of the trees, and two master baths.

A spacious room could be used as a second master suite because of its private bath and walk-in closet and independen­t access, or as a sitting room, study or exercise room as a part of the master suite. The game room and bedrooms all have wood floors.

Outside, the huge yard offers plenty of green space and play space, and a porch overlooks the saltwater pool with heater.
