The Entry, First Impressions

A spacious entry that invites you in.

The front door opens into a long, bright room that runs the full width of the front. A bank of windows lines one wall, an oval window the other.

The oval window beside the front door, framing the brick and greenery next door; on the right, the closet that hides the built-in bank of drawers.

Set along the front of the house, the room takes light from windows on both sides, and an arched opening leads through to the living space. It's big enough to gather in, with room to set down coats and greet people without crowding the door.

By the door, a corner closet hides a built-in bank of drawers. At the far end of the entry, a deep closet opens behind a pair of mirrored doors, with a hanging rod, a shelf above, and a cabinet on top.
