Charles enjoys quiet and relaxed entertaining, and depending on the time of year, he’ll either seat guests in the dining “room”—which is at the far end of the 40-foot-long living room—or serve them a casual supper by the fireside.
Charles designed the glass-topped dining table with pullout ledges on either end.
