The tub/shower is fancifully tiled. The washer and dryer are hidden behind a rattan folding screen. The guest bath is located far from the action near the front door and has a shower stall. The long entrance gallery is perfect for extra storage and an art collection. The current owner even uses it as a study. The primary bedroom is currently being used as an art studio and office as well as a guest room.
