eliminates drafts and allows comfortable use. The guest quarters in an adjacent
building add another 450 square feet of living space with bath and utility

doors connect the inside and outside entertainment areas for ease of people
flow. The brick deck with cantilevered cedar sun shade and gas grill is connected
to the living room, dinning room and the breakfast area as well as access
to the English summer house and directly to the garden. Overall, the room
size and placement, number and placement of doors, and the kitchen dual access
