There is also a study/workroom, now used as an archive, and a workshop/storage room. At the front is the kitchen with plenty of storage space. Next to the kitchen is a utility/laundry/drying room and toilet. Finally, on the ground floor is a bathroom and extensive spa with sauna, steam bath, solarium, hot tub, and shower.The staircase is an eye-catcher at the heart of the house.
