Its current configuration accommodates gatherings for entertaining with a formal dining room and a breakfast room. The breakfast room features a wall of cabinets which houses two built-in wine coolers and beverage refrigerator, this room could easily be used as the dining room or could be converted into a cozy cocktail room for entertaining.
