Woznation

Sorry, not that b-town.

We were down in Baltimore last weekend for our first apartment hunting trip.  We wanted to check out the area we were thinking about living in and check out how bad the commute was from downtown to Phil’s work.  We were looking to rent within a few blocks of Patterson Park (based off a little research and conversations with people who were already down there).  And once we got there, we absolutely loved the area and the commute was definitely doable! Score.

We saw about 10 properties.  And although we didnt expect to find something our very first trip,  we ended up putting in an application on the first house that we saw!  Apparently there were a few other applications in on the property, but obviously we were the most awesome.  We finalized the paper work this past Thursday!  It feels so good to have some housing set up for Baltimore!  I will send out a birth announcement/moving announcement in July (I dont want to post the address on the internet, but email me if you really want to know it).  Here are a few pictures until then:

These are pictures the owners sent me from after the original renovation.  There have been a few renters since then, but it is still very nice.  It is a ‘row house’  so its very long and skinny and has 3 floors. It also comes with parking in the back, which is key in this area.  I dont have any pictures of the basement level, but it is finished and will be a very cozy guest room for any visitors!  I am thrilled to live on a street where we can take barney right outside instead of going down 3 flights of stairs for every bathroom break!  And also to carry in groceries right in our back door.  Ahhh – the little things.

The park is only .2 miles away and the harbor is only a mile.  There are lots of restaurants and shops within walking distance.  And we cant wait to take advantage of all the downtown activities.  Not to mention root on my Orioles!!  Here is our street view:

Visitors (and baby-sitters) Welcome!
