Listing details provide more information about the room, and it was revealed that it also features a wood burning fireplace and glass doors which open to one of the terraces that is designed with majestic limestone columns. The exceptional chef's kitchen has three skylights and a stone center island. It is also designed with lacquer cabinetry and is equipped with high-end appliances.
