The first floor begins with the front door, a magnificent wood and leaded glass ensemble and a tile floor in the foyer. From the front door, you can look straight through to the back-yard view. The dining room is to the right and the formal living room sits to the left. The living room is one step down, with wood floors covered by a large area rug. Drapes frame long windows, and knit stockings hang on the marble fireplace.
French doors lead up one step to the office.
Academic paneling covers the bottom third of the walls, with moldings separating them from a hound's-tooth wallpaper. A leaded pocket door slides open to separate the office from the first family room, where the kelly green and burgundy carpet offsets a neutral cloud pattern on the walls. The green marble fireplace supports a wood hearth, with lions embedded in the carved woodwork. A pass-through bar opens the room, with a green marble counter and brass sink and faucet. The second family room blends into the first, with the same accessories.
