The entire back of the first floor of the house is a long sun porch, completely heated and air-conditioned. It is here that we have breakfast and enjoy the beauty of the outside while drinking our first cup of morning coffee. A large TV with sitting area is another place where guests like to gather, and in good weather the patio is a perfect place to read the morning paper before breakfast is served. It is furnished in wicker, and is a popular place for guests to read and relax.

Guests enjoy sitting by the fire in the winter.
In the summer, the parlor serves as a quiet and cool reading area. Click Photo to enlarge Here a large Oriental rug in the center provides cover for the late-nighters tiptoeing in. A peach colored camel back sofa and comfortable chairs provide a sitting area for guests while enjoying afternoon beverages and snacks served on a marble topped carved mahogany chest. The door to the upstairs front porch is invitingly open in good weather to beckon guests to enjoy the view of the front yard, giant live oak trees and camellias. A wrought iron sewing machine base serves as a TV stand, and the bathroom is appointed with pedestal lavatory consistent with the period.
