Stairs and more Stairs
So this is the front entry. Nice HUGE door that needs the glass repaired and replaced. That molding on the side of the stairs is hand done and is in great shape. The entry way is super wide and it is hard to get everything into a single shot. The top on the banister will have to be replaced and the stairs are in shaky shape.
The second floor is just amazing with the winding wood that we will refinish and the stairs leading up to the third floor. The two rooms in the back are the two second floor bathrooms. You can also see in the distance the widows on top of the doors that were used to circulate air.
Going up to the 2nd floor there is a bit of ceiling repair work to be done. The best part is the wooden molding that is still intact in the home that will be refinished and saved. There are a couple of spindles missing but they have them.
We have a servant's stairs that leads to the kitchen. We need some more lighting in here for sure. The walls need love (lots and lots of love). The wood is in great shape though.
This is an interesting room. This is peering out of the kitchen to the sun-room. It has a bathroom on the left and a weird closed in area that they used for a closet. They covered it in beadboard which doesn't make sense for the house as a whole. There is no other beadboard anywhere and it clashes with the high end wall paper on the walls. At least it has an overhead light. I forgot to see if it works.
To the right is the main hall that leads to the front door. We will probably the closet a coat closet with a pantry since it is right next to the kitchen.
Beautiful! Love all the original woodwork and detailing!
