The First Floor Tour
/Welcome to the first floor of one one seven! Through the entry vestibule, one one seven opens up to a hallway leading to the living room, dining room, and kitchen.
Current floorplan of the first floor
Once you walk down the entrance hallway, to your left is the living room. One one seven is southern facing, so there is a ton of light streaming in the front windows that is currently getting blocked by some of the walls.

The living room is … green … but if you ignore the shag carpet and textured ceiling, it has huge front windows, high ceilings and a fireplace.
The living room
In the middle of the house is the “stair room,” a transitional space with the stairs, a fireplace and a coat closet. The stairs themselves are original to the house, but we think that the decorative latticework was added later. Like the living room, everything, including the tile surround of the fireplace, is pretty green.

Moving further towards the back is the dining room, with yet another fireplace (plus more green carpet).
The dining room
Between the dining room and the kitchen is the “library” or the first floor’s powder room.

Finally, at the back of the house is a tiny kitchen, complete with washer/dryer. The microwave and stove are currently covering a boarded up window and the only window in the kitchen looks out into an enclosed porch.
