Did the house happen to be in Longwood, FL? When we first moved to FL in 2008, we saw a house of that exact description for sale.

This is interesting and inspiring.


I personally want to make my bedroom into a living room since it is only 99 square feet and since i hate sleeping on beds but love sleeping on sofa's,it might work.

I actually know someone that has a bed in the only living/family room.

I also know plenty of people with no furniture in their living room.
I think they have 2 kitchen chairs though.

When I was a kid, one of my friends had the same exact thing in the middle of their house. Their house was literally an octagon. The middle was an atrium. Every room in the home had a door to it, and the walls were glass. The layout from the front of the house was like this. You walked into the living room, to the left was the dining room, then the kitchen, then the laundry room. To the right was a slinder hallway which led to the master bedroom, bathroom, kids room, and finally another kids room. They had parrots that lived in the atrium, it had a steel net across the top like you find at the zoo.

Many years ago DH and I visited a home for sale in a partially rural area. If memory serves, there was an overturned chair in one room and what looked like a bullet hole in the window opposite the chair. We left there quickly.
Eichler home?
