A new sunroom-style dining room has replaced the old screen porch. The addition is a little bigger and a little taller than the porch it replaced, but still feels very porch-like. The addition and the existing family room open up onto a generous terrace that steps down to the pool and surrounding seating area. The upper terrace is shaded by a pergola.
