Elegantly decorated entrance hall

On the same floor is the kitchen, professionally designed and
well-equipped with utensils on hooks. From the stainless steel
appliances to the spotless counters, the cooking area has a sleek
finish. There is also an open kitchen that has an island, bar and

elegance and sophistication.

second floor, this beauty houses the family’s fine collection of
silver, metal and glassware imported from around the world. Inside a modern bedroom full of feminine flair
