• a massive paneled stair hall with twin staircases
• capacious double-height dining and drawing rooms.
• A vast 70-foot long and 20-foot high walnut-paneled ballroom with gilded cornices and multiple fireplaces has at least seven sets of French doors that open the to a wide terrace that overlooks the pastoral grounds.
• intimately-scaled library, study, billiard room and estate office with separate entrance and private bath on the ground floor.
• A latter addition to Witanhurst House contains extensive staff quarters comprised at least a dozen private bedrooms that share just 4 bathrooms.
• We counted at least two dozen fireplaces throughout the house.

Second Floor

• North Bedroom: This is Tina's bedroom.
• Playroom: This space has been turned into something of a living room for Tina and Miguel. The Alvarados also use the tiny kitchen just south of this room as a place for their personal foods (such as Miguel's snacks), but tend to use the kitchen and dining space downstairs.
• South Bedroom: This is Miguel's bedroom.
• Seperate Staff Flat: This small flat, right near the elevator, is kept by the Fowlers. It has a large bathroom (that has been adapted for Cliff's handicap by Robert) and its own tiny kitchen, as well as a living room with television and the Fowlers' bedroom.
• Bedrooms 15 - 20: The door to this old servants' wing is kept locked, and the bedrooms here are abandoned.

Third Floor

• Master Suite: This is Eloise's bedroom. She uses the Master Bedroom Dressing Room 1 as her expanded closet and dressing space, but has turned the Dressing Room 2 into a small sitting room, where she can watch television or read, with a small comfortable space. It is not uncommon for her to end her days here, watching television or reading, polishing off a bottle of wine or so while doing so. It's also unfortunately common for her to fall asleep here. As there is a door between them, Robert knows he is always welcome to come and sit with her in the evenings, or otherwise use this space as well; as a result, he has been the one to find Eloise and put her to bed on more than one occasion.
• Second Master Suite: This is Robert's bedroom.
• Bedroom 3: This is Adrianna's bedroom.
• Bedroom 4: This is Jaye's bedroom.
• Bedroom 5: This bedroom, and the adjoining apartment rooms, is kept locked and unoccupied at the moment, though they could be easily turned out and given over to another boarder, if necessary.
• Bedrooms 21-25: Like the rooms below them, these

Fourth Floor

These bedrooms remain locked and basically abandoned. What good furniture is still left in them is covered with dust-cloths, and there is no power to this entire floor. As a result, it can be a little unnerving to look up from the center of the third floor suites, up to the open railing space into this floor.
