Our perfect apartment will:
- Be on or one block from the avenue we already live on--for easy access to Costco
- Be in an apartment building (I will NOT live above my landlord ever again--I'd only consider a private house if the landlord lives off-site but close enough to fix stuff quickly)
- Be close to the train (less than five minutes' walk)
- Be no higher than a third floor walkup without an elevator
- Have a fantastic kitchen (meaning: more than two cabinets, enough grounded plugs for microwave/blender/toaster all at once, regular-sized refrigerator, at least six feet of counter space, room for a table, enough space for us to both be in there at once. Note what we're not asking for: dishwasher, granite counters, fancy anything.)
- Have a large enough living room for Peanut to keep his comfy couch
- Have newish hardwood floors
- Allow cats (we don't have one, but I realllllllly want one eventually)
- Have a bathtub (instead of just a shower stall)
- Have lots of windows
- Have two bedrooms, but one of those bedrooms can be very small (for company and/or office space)
- Be $1,400 or less
- Ideally, a grocery store would be between the train and the apartment and a laundromat would be within on block (I don't care whether it's in the building)
- A balcony would be a great plus, but is totally not necessary
- Not require a broker's fee
I'm not looking forward to moving during the heat of summer, but I will be very happy to be ensconced in one apartment with Peanut.
