Stroll down to the boats for a lovely ride or a bit of fishing. A 40-foot ceiling in the living room surrounds you with comfortable antiques and art. A gas fireplace adds ambiance and warmth.

The bedroom on the first floor has a queen bed, stained glass windows, views of lush gardens and a sitting room with a western porch and separate entrance. Private, sunny and cozy all describe this room. There is a half bath on the first floor.
