Turning left takes you into a living and dining room with a four-year-old pellet stove. Installed by previous owners about seven years ago, this kitchen has wood cabinets with Vermont-slate countertops, backsplashes faced in narrow rectangular tiles and a pantry closet. Glass doors and a large casement window on the altar wall were added during the conversion. The railing under the archway between the bedroom and sitting room was borrowed from the altar. A breakfast bar connects this space to a second sitting area to the left of the front door.
