The interior is organized around a great room defined by a chef's kitchen of industrial refinement and an original steel-hooded fireplace serving as sculptural centerpiece.

Subsequent ownership has extended this stewardship through permaculture landscape design with Anigo Garden Design and Kelly L. Kinney. Greywater irrigation system, an outdoor kitchen, expanded deck areas, and saltwater pool and spa, furthering the property's indoor-outdoor living across its 0.33-acre setting.
