A sizeable open serving hatch above the pantry connects to the kitchen. The fully fitted and equipped kitchen has large work surfaces and is lit by an east-facing window and by the doorway to the large living room. Adjacent to the kitchen, the library with an imposing stone fireplace (in perfect working order) may be transformed into an additional third bedroom. The three window south and west orientations offer a view outdoors on the lake when you are cozy inside by the fireplace. A second bedroom with a full bath is connected to the same hallway. From the large living room, a transitional dressing room leads to a powder room and the main bedroom, with a walk-in shower suite with oak hardwood flooring.

Along the north side of the room is an enclosed wood fireplace in the wall—the light filters from the skylight and vegetation.
