WHAT?! Yes, this is a Bistro upstairs adjacent to the media room. Store your favorite snacks and sips here so you can have quick access during the big game, or while watching your favorite movies!
The Bistro will be so fun to decorate with your favorite movie posters or sports theme. The checkerboard floor is a classic!
Media room attached to the bistro is perfectly situated away from the sleeping areas--so be as loud as you want. It is also large in scale and could probably retro-fit an indoor golf simulator. Call Listing Agent for a contact for golf simulators!
Enter your property from behind the brick and iron privacy fence and enjoy a winding path through mature oak trees as you feel the stress of the day melt away.
Grande porte-cochere up front with a herringbone brick pattern sets the tone of elegance as your guests arrive for your dinner party.
