What the heck is a Captain's window. I take it you have a spectacular
view out that window. There's nothing to prevent you from putting a
couch in your, den, tv room, family room, or rumpus room, is there. A
home just isn't a home without a couch.

Very nice. Did you do the work yourself? I'll bet the room feels twice
as big after the upgrade.

Our handiman and me.
This guy worked in construction/renovations before going to work at my
wifes' former company.
It made a dramatic difference in light gain and feeling of spaciousness.
The house is a modest two story built in 1940/41 in the center of the
city. The room dimensions are a bit smaller than I was used to in the
Cedar Cape Cod style house I had built during the '70s out in the 'burbs.


Around here, we call that a "bump out." Your descriptor is a lot more
elegant.

My window could also be referred to as a 'bay window'.
