The open living room and kitchen design maximize the livable space and add a light, airy feel to the house. The main living area has a hip vault, meaning the vaulted ceilings rise up from all four sides. The bank of three north facing windows above the television are sized to maximize privacy between this secondary dwelling and the main house on the property.

The second bedroom features the same thoughtful design, including a ceiling fan light and closet space with the doors slightly open. While it’s another cozy retreat, it doesn’t miss out on the views—just a hint of the stunning scenery is visible through the window, bringing charm to this space as well.
