The large room on the first floor is a multipurpose space. It can be used as a family or game room, an office, a studio, workshop, or even another bedroom--the possibilities are endless!

 The space is framed by five large double-paned clad Pella windows that look over a canal that meets the Chincoteague Bay at approximately 500 feet. Opposite the windows are a circular wall and two entrances to the hallway that surrounds the circular stairs leading to the second level.

  In addition to the many ways the space in this room could be used, it also could be divided into another large bedroom or two smaller ones. Because there are no weight bearing internal walls, a framed wall can be constructed anywhere with no difficulty. 

  The entire room is surrounded by walls covered with gray acoustic wall covering. This wall covering provides

• an attractive and unique alternative to wallpaper and paint,

• easy cleaning by simply vacuuming,

• a sound-absorbing quiet environment

• a great environment for listening to or playing music,

• a decorator’s dream because the fabric conceals nail holes and there are no studs to search for or sheet rock to pierce. Every inch of the wall covering is available for use and decoration. Light weight items can even be attached with Velcro.

The room has an alternate source of heat in the form of a wall mounted vent-free propane gas heater.

This “room for all seasons” faces west and affords a beautiful view of the canal in front of the house and the Chincoteague Bay. Watching year-round sunsets is an extra bonus!
