As previously mentioned, P and I are condo shopping. We found what we thought was the perfect condo, and even made an offer. The sellers were in way over their heads and wanted too much -- much more than it was even worth. So, we walked away. In the end, it was a good thing. It was a 2 bedroom, 1 bath condo, and probably a bit smaller than what we really need. But it was pretty. I tend to focus on the negatives (since we didn't get it), which include:
1. Balcony was off the bedroom, which is awkward for entertaining.
2. Bedrooms were small. In fact, there was only one possible placement of the bedroom in the master, and if you'd shifted the bed just one inch, you'd have blocked the door to the balcony.
3. Did I mention it had only 1 bath?
Our new favorite condo (which we're going to see for a second time on Sunday) is beautiful. Here, I will focus on the positives!
1. 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms -- Lord knows we need 2 bathrooms as that is one of the biggest bicker points of our current apartment.
2. The master is H-U-G-E! My dream is to build a walk-in closet in that bedroom. And doing that, it would still be bigger than what we have now!
3. Laundry room. That's right, a laundry ROOM. In the unit, with storage and everything.
4. Balcony off the kitchen.
5. Very bright.
6. Very modern.
7. 18' x 30' storage unit in the basement.
8. Gas fireplace (only unit in the building with a fireplace).
So, we'll see where this all takes us. We're going to see this unit and a few others on Sunday.

Oh YAY!!! This one sounds MUCH better!!! I can't wait to hear how Sunday went!!
Good luck - this sound delightful! I am soooo jealous of anyone with in-apartment laundry, let alone an entire ROOM for laundry. *sigh* [damn NYC apartments!]
