August 19, 2019 – House Tour: Second-floor interior & Apartment

Below is a floor-plan of the second floor. Each numbered box represents one of the following 13 photographs showing the interior of the second floor. The lines extending from each box extend to the locations on the wall that are at the edges of each image. The second floor consists of three main rooms: our office, a guest bedroom, and a general purpose room, labelled “Getaway Alcove,” that we will use for watching TV, storage, a place with a hide-a-bed where some can sleep, if necessary. In addition, there is a sitting area outside of the office and a guest bathroom.

Second floor map – Each numbered box represents one of the following 13 photographs. Use this to orient yourself as you move through the picture.
2nd floor – 1: View from the stairway landing to the sitting area outside of the office.
2nd floor – 2: This shows the sitting area outside the office. To the left is a sliding door that opens to a small deck surrounded by a green roof. The back wall of this space and the adjacent deck is another board-formed wall. The office is to the right.
2nd floor – 3: This will be our office where we will keep our computers and files. The ceilings in this and part of the getaway alcove are 11 feet high with clerestory windows providing indirect light.
2nd floor – 5: The view down the 2nd floor hallway from the stairway to the door at the back. The getaway alcove is on the right with the guest bathroom at the rear. The guest bedroom is at the back on the left.
2nd floor – 6: View of the getaway alcove from the hallway. We plan to mount a TV on the wall on the left.
2nd floor – 7: A second view of the getaway alcove from the other end. The opening on the right opens into the hallway. The door on the left opens to the deck.
2nd floor – 8: View of the house from the edge of the deck off of the getaway alcove. The opening on the left is a window onto the stairway. The one to the right of it is a door back into the house. The small, high, horizontal windows are the clerestory windows under the overhang of the high roof. The black, horizontal structure on the deck under the scaffolding is the top of the skylight that illuminates the master bathroom.
2nd floor – 9: A second view from the same spot looking north to the backyard and the hillside above it. The way that the high roof sits above the main second-floor roof is clearly visible here. The opening toward the back is a window into the guest bathroom.
2nd floor – 10: Moving back into the house, this is the view out of the door at the back of the hallway. The door opens onto what will be the bridge to the backyard.
2nd floor – 11: Guest bathroom. The bright light in the upper left is from the skylight that runs across that side of the room over the vanity. The shower and a room with the toilet open to the right.
2nd floor – 12: View of the guest room from the hallway door. Twin poster beds will go on the wall on the right. The space in the corner, next to the closet, will be a small desk or dressing table.
2nd floor – 13: North (with the large window) and west (with the small window) walls of the guest bedroom. The door to the hallway is to the right.

Apartment

To complete the tour here are a few pictures of the apartment. This is a simple space, but remarkably spacious. It has two main rooms: a combination entrance / kitchen / living room and a bedroom. In addition, there is a nice bathroom with a shower and a pantry/storage area. Below is plan for the apartment that shows the location of six photographs.
