Chris's house
oh. my. GOD. i am jealous. i mean, aside from the obvious (that i won't have them as housemates) their house is incredible.
in England, it's quite common for second-years and up to move out into student houses. they have student real estate agencies helping them, and most have competitive rates, and student-oriented perks. basically, all of my friends' houses sound amazing. i wish life were this nice in Toronto.
anyway, more specifically, the Button-Simpson-Harrington-Pitt dream house is great because:
- stained glass window
- alarm security system
- new fridge/stove/flatscreen tv
- wooden floors in the kitchen/living room
- all new cupboards, shelves, bin, sink, everything in the kitchen
- free vaccuum
- front-loading washing machine
- dual flush toilet
- built in closets
- new computer desks
- massive windows in the front
- garage for storage
- big front yard, to-be garden
- new carpet in all the bedrooms
- completely renovated bathroom and kitchen/living space
- comfy new leather furniture
- emerald green front door (i do love it)
- a ten minute walk away from campus
- a two minute walk away from Chinese takeaway, cafe, and grocery store
- four brand new double beds
- new real wooden chests and cupboards in rooms
- i think it's funny that they put flatscreen mounts in each room, as if students have that kind of money!
- big mirrors in clever locations
- free mop and broom
seriously. and they're paying a teensy bit above the average price per week per student in York. (which is, incidentally, about the same amount that i'll be paying next year.) have definitely hit the jackpot. crazy crazy jealous! i'm looking forward to my apartment in Toronto, but in all likelihood, it'll be a tiny bit anticlimactic, haha. i have seen several student apartments, and none of them were that lush. am looking forward to my nice stay in February!
(also, it's quite freaky: the house is literally one road behind where my b&b was in October. i have come full circle.)
