All new seven-inch-wide plank hardwood flooring was installed on the 2nd level during the latest slew of construction. e flooring was laid out with a chevron pattern which compliments the light wood tones. Pais also gushes over the custom drapes by JF Fabrics. She says, "I have custom drapes throughout that are very modern and simple." Each one is a solid color with a satin finish and layered with sheer fabrics to frame each space. First impressions are everything and the grand entry does the home justice by offering a panoramic view of the whole first floor. Pais explains, "It has a catwalk so you can see the entire home from the back of the house to the foyer." is two-story foyer is adjacent to the main entry which features custom double doors made of iron and glass. Following the catwalk down to the back of the house, guests are greeted with a 650 SF great room. Pais describes, "e great room is massive, it's the lux space of the house." It is divided into two areas: the sitting area and the TV area. Coffered ceilings that are 22 feet in height open up the space. Along with this, the focal point of the room is the two-story fireplace. Pais says, "I love the great room because it has floor to ceiling windows overlooking the backyard." e space blends into the patio through two sets of glass French-doors, erasing traditional boundaries in favor of something more casual. "e outdoor space and the indoor space are all combined, so when you open the glass doors you are literally outside," says Pais. V U E N J . C O M 92
