Historic house in Centerport
The existing Kitchen was actually a warren of dysfunctional spaces, complicated by too many doorways, too many little spaces, an awkwardly large, unattractive fireplace separating the tiny kitchen from an awkward breakfast area which also served as the primary entry to the home.
Yet with all the doorways, there was only one way to access the remainder of the home from this entry, which involved coming into the Breakfast area, walking around the fireplace into the tiny Kitchen, through that space and into a charming butler's Pantry, and on the Dining Room, walking around the table and through the Sitting Room, finally to arrive at the central Foyer which could take you to the Living room, wrap-around Porch, and the upstairs.
