foyer, family room, theater room, cedar sauna and a full
bathroom. A beautiful floating staircase rises to the main
floor, which has the formal dining room with balcony
and riverfront views, kitchen, great room, pub room,
and a guest bedroom suite with balcony. The staircase
railings are glass, which adds to the open feel of the
