Bold, with a cool touch
Through a glass front door, a formal entryway flows into a dramatic open-plan living and dining room. The far wall of the living room features a white textured finish that is further drawn out by ambient lighting. A catwalk lined with glass panels spans the length of the space, bridging second-floor living areas.

Renovated by designer Michael McCraine, the interior features light wood floors, decorative tile work and vibrant wallpaper. A step-up dining room divides the living room and open-plan kitchen, which has custom walnut cabinetry, an island and a breakfast booth.
