Greystone front; we love the green and purple door (seriously!). Makes us easy to find. We are on the 2nd floor.
The bathroom; it's large, and updated with lots of storage space
The kitchen; it's really quite beautiful
The dining room
Front room looking into dining room (with the awful
chandelier) and further, into the kitchen
We really do love this place; the hardwood floors and door framing are all original to the house. It's been rehabbed in the last few years, so it's clean and has a warm feel to it (including beautiful paint colors in the kitchen and hallway). We are on the 2nd floor (would have preferred 1st, but hey) and the laundry is in the basement (actually there is a dryer in our place, just not a washer; hmmm...)--two of the only slightly negative aspects. However, overall, this place meets our spacial needs--it has 3 bedrooms; the smallest will be bebe M's room and we'll use the next largest for an office/guest room. It also has lots of storage space and bright, open windows. We are on a nice, tree-lined boulevard within walking distance of a great, big park, shops and eateries.
AMAZING!!! Wow, I love the bathroom sink -- has a quaint feel to it. The hardwoods are gorgeous and the kitchen too. So nice that it's been so well updated -- that's great. This is so fun for you -- I'm so excited for yall!! Can't wait to have 2 sets of people to see when I go to the Windy City.
ReplyDeleteNext to buy on your list: good winter gear!!
I actually have quite a bit of winter gear, but will need good boots and such. Aron will need these too as he'll be walking to the train each day. We are only 2 blocks from an El stop.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait for you to visit. Glad you like what you see. :)
Cari wanted me to let you guys know that she and the kids are planning to move in with you guys. She thinks you'll appreciate the company and that Bebe will enjoy being tossed around by her older cousins.
ReplyDeletesounds like such FUN! totally love the place!!! i really am feeling super excited for you. i think b/c you seem so into it all...but also b/c chicago seems like a fun city. i think you'll be needing a pair of snuggy UGGS for this winter don't ya think?
ReplyDeletePops--I'm not sure bebe M will enjoy being tossed around my her cousins...hmmm...let me think about this more...
ReplyDeleteVery pretty and it looks remarkably spacious! One great thing about transitioning to a new city during this point in your pregnancy is that you will get to know your ob very well despite the short months left, because you will soon be switching to weekly and bi-weekly visits--so much time to chat :o)
ReplyDeleteWow! I love it. The high ceilings, the hardwood floors etc... I can't wait to come visit! Have you sold some more furniture yet? I can't wait to see it furnished and decorated--Aron and Suz style. ;)
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful and looks like it could be in England! I'm jealous that you're moving into a totally renovated place...so clean, so tidy, so finished.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! Gotta love the vintage rehab....
ReplyDeleteMake sure Aron has some good gloves and a scarf, because it's already gotten chilly here.
