HOUSE FOR SALE-COME INSIDE- THIS IS THE FIRST FLOOR

Yesterday I left you at the front door.

Ready to go inside?

The door is open....

When you step in and look up you see

A BARREL BEADBOARD CEILING

with seeded glass fixture.

To the left- Grandmother Russel's gate-leg table

To the right a hinged bench to sit 

and change your shoes.

Step forward and you are in the main hall.

This is very dark because it is a dreary day

but from the front hall you can see

straightway out to the bay.

The backside of the house is mostly glass.

Step from the outer foyer into the main hall

and to the left is the front sitting room.

Looking in---

Looking out towards the hall...

Across the hall is a small area for the kids

The steps are on the other side of the

KIDS' CORNER 

and they lead upstairs.

We'll go there tomorrow.

The two little chairs are sewing chairs.

the pale yellow one was Gramma Russel's chair.

The wooden one belonged to my grandmother.

There is a powder room next to the 

KIDS' CORNER.

Outside below the window is 

an angel fountain

which I will get pictures of another day.

Continuing down the main hall is the

dining room on the left.

2nd shot looks towards the kitchen-

You can see the 

'coffee/drink' center with

the copper sink and seeded glass built-ins.

To the right of the entry hall is the library area.

OMGOSH-- I just saw that tangle of cords!

I meant to clean that up before the pictures...duh....

This is also part of the inner entry hall &

library area.

At the end of the hall is the 

KITCHEN/FAMILY ROOM AREA

Dinette Area with Bench Seat

Kitchen

Pantry in the back.

All Bosch appliances.

Jenn-Aire downdraft 6 burner range with grill..

To the left is the bar area with copper sink...

Not a good picture---sorry---

The coffee bar area would be to the far left

in the picture below--

with a wine cooler built in under the counter

next to the fridge.

You can see the bay in the background.

I am going to miss this view.

If you came in the kitchen door that you see

to the far left in the picture above

and look towards the front entry

this is the view.

The overhead gives access to the old roof area-

We built out over the old house

and needed access.

I had them do this rather than put

the access in the closet.

The little door is home to

GEORGE AND ETHEL GNOME

although I heard that they already 

packed up and moved.

Hope we can find them for the younger 

grandkids when we move.

So--there you have it--

that wraps up the first floor 

(I think).

I will be back with 

upstairs and downstairs next time.
