Help in describing areas inside a house for advertising please?
I need two words to describe areas in the house (we are selling and need to advertise). One-the area in front of a fireplace on the floor (not the hearth). The carpet was burned by embers, so I replaced that portion with stone tiles. Is there a special name for the floor in front of a fireplace?
And the second- we have a large 2-person jacuzzi tub. The tub is not sunken, but surrounding it is a raised area (raised to the level of the top of the tub), tiled in shiny indigo. It a place to sit while drying off, or sit and talk to someone in the tub...it makes the tub look sunken, since this raised area is about 3-4 feet out from the tub. Is there a special name for this raised and tiled area?
Thank you so much if you can help- Besides the points, I'll be more than happy to answer any question you have on medical or scientific matters!

for the fireplace, the only thing I can think is to call it a hearth. According to Websters dictionary a hearth is a brick, stone, or cement area in front of a fireplace; which is exactly what you described.
For the jacuzzi tub, I'd call the area a deck or a surround. something like that.
sounds like a nice place you're selling...good luck with that!

I agree with the above poster, a hearth seems to be about your only option. You could always make up a name like "lower mantle.".
As far as the Jucuzzi area, I might call it a dock, or a "semi-sunken" jacuzzi tub with docking area.
Good Luck!
