Enjoy the wood burning fireplace as the temperature drops. The sunroom features two walls of floor to ceiling windows as well as a vaulted ceiling and built in bookcases. This is the perfect room to enjoy both the bounty of flora and fauna that abounds on this property. The three sided screened in porch with tile flooring (with some views of Rug Lake) is located adjacent to the sunroom.

There is also a screened gazebo for enjoying the gorgeous gardens. A new pergola was added in 2016 and the enormous deck was replaced in 2016.
