Apartment Hunting
Due to my landlord's foreclosure situation, I need a new place to live in September, so I have been apartment hunting. I've seen several rather cute possibilities, but was really looking forward to viewing a third floor loft right across the street from tesla_aldrich. I so much wanted to like the place but just didn't. It was cramped, practically windowless and even though it included a second floor sun porch outside the back entry and did indeed have something roughly approximating a "cathedral ceiling", I think it would ill serve my occasional claustrophobia. Also, its climate controls consist of a window air conditioner and an electric baseboard heater. The landlady assured me that some of the radiant heat from the second floor would rise and that the highest monthly electric bill the current tenant had was $113.00! Guess that would explain the low rent. Sigh.
Now I'm sort of on hold until Monday, when I need to call the caretaker of the wonderful old building on 25th and Nicollet(1893 Fredric Kees & Franklin Long, architects-think city hall), to see if she is able to show me the actual apartment which will be available. I saw its back porch and the interior of her somewhat similar apartment last week, but she needed to contact the present tenants before showing the actual unit. I really hope it's worth waiting, as I'm risking losing a really cute third floor loft with its own balcony one half block south of the manor of mizlaurajean and davidscroth. Again, sigh.
Wish me luck.
