The innermost space in the back part of the house was the sitting room. It was distinctive because of its lead-framed glass window divided into sections. The furniture was more varied than in the parlor. Archival photos of the interior show just details, but the former inventory allows us to reconstruct the room. In one corner was a bronze bust of György Ráth, made by Alajos Stróbl. It was a nice gesture that Mrs. Ráth kept a bust of her husband in her sitting room, while he reciprocated, keeping a bust of his wife in the Gems room.
