Christian and I just made a bid on an apartment tonight. It's been an interesting ride the past week or two. Many of you know we had been looking at places in Hyde Park. There were a couple that we were thinking seriously of buying, but we never got the feeling of a place being 100% right. Then we got the idea of looking in Printer's Row, a fabulous little historic neighborhood that borders directly on the Loop to the south of old printing house buildings from the 1890's and 1900's converted into lofts . It's near a stop on the train from South Bend, and is positioned within a couple blocks of every single El/Subway line in Chicago, and many buses, including great bus connection to Hyde Park. It's really right at the center of everything. So, we started looking just this past weekend at places there.
So we found a wonderful place that felt completely right to both of us, and we're going to try to buy it, and probably move at the end of April. Here are some links if you want to check it out:

Luke,
ReplyDeleteThat's great. Something must be in the air. Time for the Miller brothers to buy real estate...Fortunately for you, you'll get that pretty $8000 first time home buyer tax credit from the stimulus plan. Keep us updated on how things go with your bid.
Abbie's in the D.R. and the girls are with Mom and Dad. I just spent the morning cleaning up at the "red house" as Eve calls it and will be doing some work on the "yellow house" the rest of the week/weekend. Nice to have a weekend off from preaching.
Luke,
ReplyDeleteYour mom told me that you and Christian put a bid in on the apartment today. I hope the place is yours very soon! It's just beautiful.
