A secondary dining area is located in the kitchen, with a long wood table connected to the kitchen island. Dark grey chairs provide a contrasting element, while the wall at the end of the table is dedicated to a pair of glass-enclosed wine cellars.

All of the social areas of the home on the main floor are open to the patio and swimming pool. The wood deck, natural stone accents, and plants add a natural element to the home. Beyond the pool are landscaped gardens.
