Sleeping quarters are located in the right wing of the house. There are two windows in each of the bed- rooms, providing welcome cross ventilation. The front bedroom is large enough to accommodate twin beds.

From the living room, an archway leads into the dining room, which opens on the kitchen. There's dining space here, too, for family breakfast, brunch or rupper. The utily room, which houses henter and tuba, and a front porch open off the kitchen.
