Formal entry opens from the covered porch through double glass doors into a two-story foyer. French doors to the left open into a private study within the turret, offering a bay window view.

The foyer opens into the combined main social areas, including the great room, dining room, kitchen and breakfast room, all with wood flooring. A coffered ceiling is above the formal dining area, which also has wainscoting. Along one wall of the great room is a gas fireplace flanked by built-in cabinetry with bubble-glass panel doors. Shuttered windows with transoms fill another wall.
