[About changing "are" to "is" in the first paragraph: I know it seems like it should be "are" because you are listing more than one thing, but "there are a dining room, ..." just sounds strange to a native speaker. The verb ("is/are") should agree with the first item in the list. That's why in the last paragraph, "there are four rooms, ..." is correct.]
