Inside this century-old mansion a 10-foot wide hallway divides the house from front to back and showcases the stairway leading to the upper floor. The old, dark oak flooring is one of the most striking features as you enter. The spacious living room off to the left has two massive silk couches complemented by a stone coffee table centered around a marble mantel and a gas fireplace. The setting includes lively plants and a huge 200 year old country French pine armoire containing a large selection of jazz, blues, folk and classical CDs. Begin to notice the
collection of art from the Southwest. If you're so inclined, pick up
our bamboo flute or the unique handmade ceramic drum and play along.
