I've been obsessed with HGTV for the past few years, and now we have started househunting ourselves. Most Sundays are spent cruising the open houses in the South Loop neighborhood. I thought I would start posting my thoughts on the places we see to remind myself of the units, and perhaps give tips to whoever else out there looking.
Today we saw 1169 S Plymouth #510. It was a bit 1980s fabulous. Nice sized closet, but the bathrooms need updating and the mirror walls in the living room would have to go. The building hallways could stand to be more welcoming and the assessments were not cheap. The kitchen is tiny but the living area is well-sized.
We also checked out another unit in the complex, but in a different building. This is a two story unit with a good size living space. They have done a good job updating the kitchen, but again the paint colors would need changing. This unit has an oversized master closet that wraps around behind the upstairs bathroom. Downsides: No laundry in the unit, parking isn't for sale and isn't available immediately, small outdoor space and despite being two-stories lacks the townhouse feel and definitely feels like a condo.
