We live across the street from the Hawley Bed & Breakfast. We have 3 dogs and our grandchildren have a place to come and not have to be quiet or out of the way. We live in the Manse, the house built as the parsonage for the church next door, originally the Vine Congregational Church but now the Christ Temple Mission Church. It is a modest home, but does have 4 small bedrooms on second floor. When we had the plumbing updated a few years ago, we had the basement plumbing extended to include a 3/4 bath at that time. The extra room in the basement was made into a dressing room for me. So we shower in the basement and I keep my clothes in the dressing room.
There is 1/2 bath on first floor. The parlor off the living room also has a closet and this half bath. So John has his clothes there and he claims that bathroom. But everyone uses that bathroom because it is so handy.
When we redid the plumbing in the house, the 2nd floor bathroom was totally removed. The plumber brought me a 1930 tub and I found a 1930 pedistal sink. The dresser that was built in was removed and refinished then put back in. A shower was put in over the tub and walls tiled. It is very nice but not often used because we aren't up there except to sleep. We have one bedroom and another is used for an office and sewing. The other 2 bedrooms have been updated with vanity and sink and storage when the bathroom was redone. I would like to start renting these to students that need to come to town on occasion. Not full time students, but ones that are more short term. So I guess I have a 'room to rent'. I have had students live with us in the past, but it is too much when they are there every day. I bought a small refrigerator for someone to use if they take a room.
