A landscaped garden with a small path leads to a courtyard that’s enclosed by the screens, that can pivot to enable the courtyard to be hidden when needed.

By day, the courtyard offers shade and filtered light, and by night, everyone can gather in the courtyard for bonfires and stargazing. On the wall above, the flying ducks artwork can be removed to allow for a private outdoor movie screening.

The living room is cozy and functional with a standalone fireplace, and looks out onto the yard below. The living room leads out to a covered patio with an outdoor dining table and couch, which provides more outside space for nature lovers.

Moving from the balcony back inside, you are brought into the dining room which is simply decorated. The wood and black upholstered dining set compliments the rich wood flooring, while a pop of color is added to the dining area with a pink floral painting.

Next to the dining room is the kitchen. White countertops help to reflect light and keep the kitchen bright and airy and the use of a kitchen island maximizes productivity and allows for extra seating in the kitchen.
