Apartment Hunting - Love At First Sight

March 2012 - Apartment Hunting

Had our eye on the Upper West Side. Ideally next to Central Park.
Coming from a very teeny studio for the past 18 months together, we were ready for a 1 bedroom.
We were getting married in 2 months, but our lease was up so we decided to go for it.

This is the first apartment we saw. Totally fell in love with it.

Positives: Right next to the park, brownstone, close to the subway we both take to work, old building (1920s), exposed brick, 2 closets, bathtub
Negatives: No dishwasher, five floor walk up*, totally no cabinet space
*exercise positive

Here it is as we first saw it:

The living room - larger than our first apartment

Exposed brick, giant windows, view of the park

Coming from a studio, this is a huge bedroom

Tiny kitchen, no storage


View of the park
