On the first floor, the living and dining areas, the family room, the kitchen and the luxurious master bedroom suite all face the pond. The character of the house changes from front to back: windows facing the street are few and very large. Stylized Greek Revival trim and detailing throughout. In the back of the house many windows face the pond in an open, friendly, bring the outdoors in manner. Within, a screen of columns help to articulate the living room, and columns and a shallow dome define the dining room. The placement of columns, however permits the dining table to be considerably enlarged accommodating many guests without sacrificing the character of the room. The kitchen and family room are, appropriately, more informal and less classical. On the second floor, all bedrooms face the pond.
