House hunting
We are looking for a new home, closer to Stockholm, and this week we went to see a couple of apartments. The first was beautiful, built in 1939 and withing walking distance of the city center, but the layout wasn't working for us. It had a dining room instead of a third bedroom, and although it would have been nice to use that as a master bedroom, with a beautiful fireplace (imagine going to bed with a nice log fire burning...) and a balcony, it just didn't quite click for us.
The second flat was the one below, which was completely amazing! 3.2 meter high ceilings, a little "tower room" a half stair up, and a huge wall of windows in the living room. All renovated to the highest standards, and completely to my tastes. But of course we weren't the only ones who wanted this, so the price quickly rose way above our budget. The asking price was ok, but when the bidding was up $ 150 000 the day after the viewing, well, we just had to wave good bye to this dream. But I wanted to share it with you here anyway!
I'm not giving up though, I've already found a few new apartments that we are going to look at next week!
