The floor plan is logical and effective with an easy flow centering on the massive stone fireplace flanked living room. One direction leads to the well-appointed outdoor screened “living room” porch with access to the Coyote grill and steps to the lower levels, while another direction merges into an elaborately furnished (but lightly used) gourmet kitchen and the adjacent dining room overlooking the lake. Still another door unveils the first of two master suites with elaborate bath and dressing areas. The second master suite and additional bedrooms are located on the upper floor.
