The gourmet kitchen features custom-built mocha and black glazed cabinetry with distressed edging, granite counter tops, and top-line Viking Professional appliances.  Australian cypress flooring is the specialty wood featured throughout the home.  All porches and decks are Ipe mahogany, and the all-metal roof is hand-fabricated standing-seam galvalum.
