is large enough to host parties, but designed to feel comfortable.

Antique Australian Wormy Chestnut hardwood floors were carefully chosen for the living space. This exotic hardwood is like no other species in the world: It bears the distinctive characteristics of the vast temperate forests of Southeast Australia - from native worm markings, color variations, fire streaking, and deep red gum veins; to evidence of wind, drought, and flood in the mountainous Australian terrain. Such rare attributes make it the most desirable wood on the market for sophisticated interiors.
