The Grey Family Townhouse is located in the city of Waterford, county seat of Waterford County, Ireland. It is in a wealthy part of the city, located on a street where there are several other townhouses. It is the property of Hugh and Livinia Grey, and is considered their primary residence, even though they also own a farm, where they primarily breed prize-winning Irish Wolfhounds, and a few horses, near the neighboring town of Tremere.
The Grey Townhouse is a three-storey structure, constructed of red brick with a black shingled roof, and closely resembles the other townhouses on the block. The property has a small front lawn with a sidewalk leading to a set of concrete steps which go up to the front door. At the edge of the property is a six-foot high wrought iron fence, painted with a rust-resistant black paint.
At the back of the property is an equally small backyard with an unattached garage. Inside the garage is kept a car, usually driven by Hugh.
The first floor features an entry hall, living room, and formal dining room. At the back is a kitchen with attached breakfast nook, and half-bath.
On the second floor is a large room given over as a study and library. Usually this is the domain of Hugh Grey where he conducts his business. The room has a large mahogany desk, and is lined with shelves full of books, both of a magical and mundane nature. Magical books, and books which are considered quite rare and valuable are kept inside a locked, glass-fronted cabinet. Both Hugh and Livinia are collectors of rare and antique books.
The second floor is where the house's main bathroom is located, with a full-size tub, and other amenities.
The third floor is where the bedrooms are located, including a guest room. Hugh and Livinia have the master bedroom, while their daughters each have their own bedroom. The master bedroom has its own balcony, which overlooks the back of the property, and the sea is visible from there. Their butler, Seamus, has his own room on this level, as does their maid. On this floor is also a half-bath.
Since her adoption was completed, a new room has been added for Selina's use. Her room is large enough it has both a large bed and a daybed (for a guest), as well as a couple comfortable armchairs. She has a desk and chair, as well as several bookshelves, holding her personal collection of books as well as her mother's magical texts. Over by a large bay window, which looks upon the ocean, Selina has her area set aside for her art, with a table and racks for art supplies. In addition plants in hanging pots are positioned around the room.
Above the occupied levels is the garret, which is used for the storage of extra furniture and the belongings. The garret is accessed by a folding ladder mounted in the ceiling of the third floor.
There is also a full basement, with laundry facilities, and the furnace.

Notes and history: When I come up with them.
Pets: The family owns a large tufted Great Horned Owl named Malcador, while Livinia has a Half-Neasle cat named Macavity.
Selina is accompanied by a Half-Neasle cat named Hepzibah, a long-haired cat with seal-point Birman markings. During the summer, a pair of dogs (whom are strongly suspected as being of Crup blood, due to their intelligence and certain odd behaviors displayed in conjunction with the presence of their mistress), pure-bred (we, think) Irish Wolfhounds, Lugh and Cuchulain, will take up residence, always showing up unbidden the morning after Selina returns from school, and they act as her bodyguards while she's at home.
Siobhan has recently acquired a small black and white kitten she has named 'Evan'. The kitten was rescued by Selina from the Ministry examiners whom were using him as a test subject for the Transfiguration OWLs. Evan's pedigree is, at this point, unknown, though its possible he is Half-Kneazle.
Fianna has a Half-Kneazle orange tabby named 'Daniel', a gift from Selina for receiving her acceptance letter from Hogwarts.

The big barn owl that was often seen in the presence of Ceri Davies landed on a tree near the townhouse belonging to the Grey Family. The bird watched the building for a moment before he spotted his query and took flight once again. Landing at her window, the bird tapped the glass, hooting to the girl inside. He bore a message for Selina, sent by his owner Ceri. Tied to his leg, the letter read: Letter Dear Selina, How is your summer going? Mine has been rather droll lately. I got my O.W.L. grades and I'm happy with them. But we can discuss that later. I was wondering if you'd want to come to my house this summer. I have a quest that I need your help with. We shouldn't have to worry about my wicked stepmother either. She's taken a vacation to somewhere and will gone most of the summer. I think she just wants to get away from me. Regardless, I have the house to myself. If you want to come by, you can floo here. I cleared the area so now it can be used. Send a letter back with Tirol if you want to come. Regards, Ceri
