The maid's room, facing the kitchen, has a west facing window, built in shelving and drawers, a beautiful stone floor, and can easily function as a third bedroom. Three bathrooms complete this classic layout. The master has a north facing window, a large shower and an MB Perrin and Rowe English commode and pedestal sink.
