First Floor

• Entry Terrace: The entry terrace is two-tiered. The top tier has a fountain pool that draws water up from the stream, and the main entry to the house. There are two flights of stairs from here: one a short flight down to the rest of the main terrace, and another, narrower and longer flight that descends down to a plunge pool that is made up of stream water directed into a stone basin.
• Entry: The entry foyer has a small set of shelves directly across from the door, a coat closet, and a small set of stairs down into the main room
• Main Room & Waterfall Terrace: The main room is a large room with a flagstone floor of stones taken from the riverbed below. It has two doors out to the entry terrace, another to the Waterfall Terrace, and a set of stairs down to the River Enclosure below as well.
  • Waterfall Terrace: The smaller terrace off of the main room sits right above a seven-foot waterfall, providing a pleasing sound. The pack frequently uses this space as personal "get away" space for those who need some time to themselves.
  • River Enclosure: A short flight of stairs from the main room descends down to a simple area that is open to the burbling river. The pack occasionally desires access to the stream proper, easily gaining it here.
• Dining Area: The pack maintains a large pine table, with chairs for a dozen or so folks here.
• Kitchen: The kitchen is roomy, and kept well-stocked by the pack (Desmond usually oversees the shopping and acquisition of funds from his packmates).
• Staff Room: This room is used as infirmary space, with a couple of single-sized beds arranged in it. It has its own small entry, and a short flight of stairs descends down to a small servants' bedroom space that has been used to imprison people before.

Second Floor

• Landing & Landing Terrace: From the top of the staircase landing, there is a small set of stairs that leads up to a guest room and bath, as well as a small set of stairs to a hallway that leads to the bridge, the hallway to the Master and Dressing rooms, and a staircase up. A door off of the landing leads to an open room, with a small terrace as well as a staircase down to a larger terrace that is half-way between the second and first floors.
• Master Bedroom & Master Terrace (xxx): A large bedroom space, with its own bath and access to a large terrace that looks down onto the Waterfall Terrace below.
• Dressing Room & Dressing Room Terrace (xxx): Though called the Dressing Room after the original architecture, this is outfitted as another bedroom, with its own bath, and access to a high terrace about halfway between the second and third floors. This terrace also has a short flight of stairs that leads up to the Study on the third floor above.
• Guest Room (xxx): A small bedroom just off of the Landing.
• Bridge to Guest House: A bridge that crosses above the driveway outside and then rises on a short half-flight of circular stairs to a covered walkway that leads to the guesthouse proper.

Third Floor

• Bed & Terrace (Vanya): A small bedroom that is mostly glass walls that looks out onto the small terrace outside.
• Study: A room set up with several comfortable reading chairs, shelves of books ranging from fiction to textbooks to graphic novels. Vanya uses part of the room's storage space as a closet, given teh general lack thereof in her own bedroom, but the space is intended as open for everyone's use.

First Floor

• Bridge to Main House: This bridge leads to the second floor of the main house. It terminates in a set of stairs that leads down to the Servants' Quarters, and another that leads up to a small storage room, that opens on stairs up. It also has a short flight of stairs up that lead to the terrace just outside the living room space.
• Servants' Quarters (Basement): A set of small three tiny bedrooms lies beneath the laundry and garage. They are very simple rooms, with just enough space for a twin bed, a bedside table, and small personal closets. There is also a somewhat spacious bathroom down here.
• Laundry & Garage: The laundry room has two sets of normal washer-and-dryer. The garage can easily park three cars.
• Living Room: A small, infrequently used living room space, with a couple of threadbare sofas. Its large windows provide a view down to the main house, and plenty of natural light, however.
• Bedroom (XXX): This bedroom is a small but simple set-up, with double doors that lead out to the plunge pool terrace.
• Plunge Pool Terrace: The living room and bedrooms of this floor are surrounded by a large, comfortable terrace that remains quite cool in summertime - abetted by the short flight of stairs up to a plunge pool of about eight feet in depth.

Second Floor

• Bedroom 1 (Elaine): A small single-closet bedroom.
• Bedroom 2 (xxx): A small single-closet bedroom.
• Bedroom 3 (xxx): A somewhat larger bedroom, with large closets and French doors that lead out onto a terrace that overlooks the woods.
• Bathroom: The three bedrooms here share a single bathroom.
• Upper Terrace: This upper terrace is mostly bare, except for a few potted plants.
