We bought our house almost 6 years ago. It is a 25-year-old, two-story Victorian-style farmhouse with a big wraparound porch, and when we first walked through it, I loved the size of it. There was storage everywhere, the rooms were good-sized, and it even had a secret room upstairs. As we settled in, we discovered the house had other secrets too. The basic layout is normal enough. You come through the front door into the entryway, with the staircase going up in front of you.
