The youth and guest rooms are located in the basement with front play lawn and fireplace, in the attic is the parents’ area.
On the access floor is the shared living-dining room with open kitchen, centrally placed fireplace and west terrace.
Special mention should be made of the spacious sports and wellness area under the double garage with a loggia in front.
