we are buying a 17’x36′ brownstone with three floors, rental on top floor that one day (maybe 4\/5 yrs) we will stop renting and turn into bedrooms. We are trying to decide whether to keep kitchen on the garden floor. Plan is to eventually blow out back wall and have mostly glass addition\/sunroom and I love having the garden off the kitchen (I am an avid gardener). But of course parlor floor has much higher ceilings and is lighter and we plan to put a deck on roof of addition with doors from parlor floor out onto it. My feeling is if we have kitchen on parlor floor, when we have bedrooms on top floor we would never use the garden floor, whereas if we have kitchen on garden floor and start using bedrooms on top floor, we will have parlor floor for living. Sorry for long convoluted question, but anyone willing to share thoughts on these configuration issues?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
