A charming maple-floored sunroom sits at the back of the home and features additional House of Hackney wallpaper, tying the design story together and offering a chic transition to the outdoors. This sunroom leads directly out to the multi-level deck, creating an ideal flow for indoor/outdoor living. A convenient half bath completes the main level.
