Are these translations correct

It also has a large soft rug where I sit and listen to music or read.

There is also a large open kitchen and a dining room. The dining room has a large table with many chairs and French doors that open onto the porch.

No estoy seguro de puerta francesa , there might be a different way to say it

Sentarse is reflexive :) To sit

thanks. but in the dictionary porche is masculine. shouldn´t it be el porche

there are two contractions in spanish, a + el = al and de + el = del
so in that case its still masculine you´re using a contraction:)
It´s like that so it can be pronounced easier and faster

que da al porche (a + el = al)
que da a la terraza
= that opens to the porch
Or, you can use 'que se abre a la/al'. Note that 'French doors' isn't plural in Spanish.

French doors = (depending on region) puerta ventana, ventana francesa, cristalera, puerta francesa

y una puerta francesa

También hay una alfrombra ... donde me siento y escucho música o leo.

Puerta cristalera, puerta de cristal, puerta vidriada.
Abrirse a / abrir algo.

I think it's more common "en el comedor hay" que "el comedor tiene". :thinking: :)
