The beautiful shell light fixture in the living room.

Living room, looking west out the bay windows. Please note beautiful deco light fixture, round-topped front door with beveled glass (open), fireplace and original windows. The carpet is likely to go, as the hardwood floors beneath are said to be in good shape.
The dining room and the front doorway. The light fixture over the table was once of the same vintage as the one in the living room ... that original fixture is long gone. Below, the curly maple door into the hallway and stairway to the second floor. The door inside the dining room goes into the kitchen - it is a swinging door.
Mrs. D. says the builders went to the 1933 Chicago World's Fair, saw this exceptional bathtub and installed one in my house ... upgraded, i suppose. To help explain what you are seeing from essentially directly overhead - the left end is the shallow end, the right end, with the drain, is the deep end. I'm serious. Yes, there is a shower.

Two bedrooms and the full bathroom upstairs, living room, dining room, kitchen, study and powder room downstairs. This is the bedroom on the west side of the house. Please note cool built in drawers. Each bedroom has two closets.

The bedroom at the east side of the house - another built in dresser, the closet is cedar lined. The little doors are attic access. This window looks north.
The other end of the east bedroom - yet another closet, yet another marvelous deco light fixture.
