Dining areaDining area .The lot overlooks an environmental reserve, with a view of the westernmost edge of Heritage Pointe Golf Club..It’s very easy to be impressed as soon as you peek inside the main grand entrance and see the show-stopping floating staircase, floor-to-ceiling windows and vaulted ceiling with massive wood beams..
