Looking back toward the dining room, you can see the magnificent river view thanks to the floor-to-ceiling windows and glass doors. The owners continued with the aqua and turquoise theme of the exterior of the home for interior decor.

A view from the rear of the home (or front, depending on how you want to look at it) showcases the large windows on both stories of the home. Something you’d never expect from the opposite view of the home.
