that span the breakfast room, framing views of the the scenic countryside. Here, a wrought-iron fence<br />

the vaulted ceiling and surrounds the gas fireplace. Indulge in the latest mystery novel or transform this<br />
cozy room into the perfect place for movies with the touch of a button as the artwork vanishes to reveal<br />
