I just love the house too... To answer the questions I can remember... It is in Wisconsin, an hour or so North-East of Madison. It does have the push button light switches that my daughter loves (I'll try to get her to change them later). It also has the twist type mechanical door bell (that I love...lol). It was build in 1886, if I remember the date right. The curved front door leads into what Michelle's fiancee calls a winter polish freezer...so yes, a nice entry you'll see in the following pictures. From all indications, and what they told me, the floors are original. The middle of each floor is plain, unfinished wood like they did in those days before wall to wall carpeting. It was for an area rug, also the rug won't move even without tacks.
Pardon the mess, it was move-in day, and I didn't take as many pictures as I would have liked.
A bit more about the house.... It was built with a boiler and that was fairly uncommon in those parts at that time. The curved part on top of the porch opens up from the master bedroom and is perfect size for a couple to sit and relax in in the morning, maybe over coffee. There are several curved window panes in the house, all seem original glass. (as you can see air bubbles and waves in the glass)
The first picture shows how curved the front door and screen door are, and how the floor needs refinishing.
Second shows the wood grate that is the cold air return.
Third is the beveled glass window in the Parlor (or sitting room?) 5 rooms plus bath on first floor
Fourth is looking from room in previous pic towards front door
Last picture is from dining room towards that room in third pic. You can see bathroom on the left, and built in china cabinets (2, one on each side of chimney) on the left
I have a couple more pictures, but these are the highlights....
