The master bedroom on the main level includes cherry-paneled barrel ceilings. The walls are filled with paintings of European street scenes, and the electric chandelier creates the illusion of candlelight. The bedroom also has easy access to the pool and hot tub. Mathison said she likes that the back of her home is mostly windows and doors, which allows her to keep a close eye on her children when they are playing in the backyard.
