Not actually my house, it was an AirBnB outside Seattle, but it’s mysterious and I’m hoping someone here might know the function.
Inside the main closet in the master bedroom is a weird giant staircase leading to a square hole that looks into the area outside the bedroom. Here’s the other side:
The inside of that cupboard beneath is just a small empty space, much smaller than the staircase, tiled at the bottom and possibly sized for an electric fireplace or something.
My friends and I could not figure out what it was supposed to be, and it’s driving us a bit crazy.
Were you staying in just one floor of what used to be a multi floor properly? Could be part of an old internal staircase. Removed the top of it when the property was split but never bothered with that bit.
Yes, and I considered that. But why the window? And the outlet?
