An arresting 12-foot wall of windows faces the rear English garden, and the open plan brings that light throughout the main floor from the kitchen, family room, and dining room through to the living room. The spacious living room is itself bathed in light from a large skylight gracing the front porch which overlooks another English garden surrounded by an unusual historic wrought iron fence. Additional light streams into the house through the stairway from a cathedral skylight on the third floor, as well as through expansive windows and French doors throughout. The front and back windows on the main level all feature custom all-wood plantation shutters while the rest of the windows in the house feature custom all-wood blinds.
