Home Description

The pre-1950 building I chose to describe is my house. It is one of a batch of houses commissioned in 1932 and completed in 1943. It is a standard two floor one family house with a one car garage in the backyard. When looking at the front of the house the door is on the left and there are three windows to the right of it.
There are three rooms on the first floor: the living room, the dining room and the kitchen. The front door opens into the living room. Against the right wall are a row of desks, in the middle of the room is a sofa set and against the left wall is the television set. There is a wall with an archway separating the living room from the dining room. In the dining room on the right is the dining table set and on the left wall are the stairs that lead to the second floor. Under the stairs there is a small closet. Dividing the dining room and the kitchen is a wall with a door. In the kitchen on the right wall is the refrigerator, a cabinet set and stairs that lead to the back door and another staircase to the basement. In the middle is a medium sized table and on the left is a small bathroom, the stove and the sink.
On the second floor there are three bedrooms, a bathroom and a closet. At the top of the stair case is the bathroom on the left side of the house, the bedrooms on the right and the closet behind the stairs. In the bathroom on the left is the toilet, the sink and the bathtub against the back wall. Next to the bathroom is the first bedroom. In that room is a bed and the stairs to the attic. Next to that is the second bedroom which is used as a study. Next to that is the master bedroom.
In the basement there are four rooms, a boiler room, a small bathroom, a large main room and a small side room. Once you walk down the stairs leading from the back door you can walk into the main room on the left or the laundry/boiler room on the right. In the laundry/boiler room is the water heater, the boiler and two washing machines. On the right wall is the door to the small bathroom. In the main room there is a closet on the right and a door leading into the side room.
