For the past few months I have been in search of a sublease for my apartment. For a while it seemed hopeless and we had decided to still get our own place and pay double rent until August..until..out the blue, we had a taker! She emailed my roommate about a week ago with the hopes of moving in at the start of March! Since that email Bryan and I have been scrambling around in search of a place to call home. The pressure was on as we had 10 days to find a place, get a lease signed, and get moved. With Bryan's challenging schedule and my spending 5 of those days in Iowa, we got right to work.
We drove by two places and didn't like either. The following morning Bryan called one place, I set up an appointment to look later that day, and gave her a deposit check before leaving! Bryan hadn't even seem the place but I knew he would love it. Last night we met with the owner and snapped a few pictures.
The place was vacant for a year but was recently refurbished. The original window sills and hardwood floors. We are taking the bottom half of a duplex, it is about 1100 square feet and has tons of windows! Here is a show of the living area, taken from the entry of the kitchen.
The kitchen has all newer appliances and tons of cabinet space! The counter area is limited but with the spacious dining room next door, things shouldn't get too crowded.
This is the second bedroom. Again, more beautiful lighting and nice woodwork. You can see that this closet isn't as big but it is deep so it will certainly be sufficient.
We have one bathroom, it is nothing to brag about as you could probably wash your hands while sitting on the toilet but we don't plan to spend too much time in there anyway!
I forgot to snap pictures of the basement but we share it with the gals upstairs and have more storage as well as our own washer and dryer. There is a fenced in backyard and 2 stall garage that we will share. We are within walking distance to the Amtrack (quick ride to the airport of downtown), stationed between two great running areas, next to a golf course and a 5 minute drive to the dome. We are super excited and inviting visitors as soon as March 7th. Come visit!!

The place is complete with a nice dining room area as well. There are some built in cabinets and a lot of open space. Complete with ceiling fans with lighting and air conditioning. This shot is taken from the living room through the dining room, peaking into the kitchen.
This will probably be our master bedroom. The closet is huge and more built in storage space. My favorite part of this room, the window seat. I can imagine Bryan snoring in bed while I curl up and read on a Saturday morning :)
