Long awaited - apartment photos

We are all extremely happy with our accommodations!  We live on the top level of the apartment complex (4th floor-no elevators).  Our landlord lives two floors below us.  The first picture on the left is our front entry way (the apt is two stories, the main entrance in on the top level.  There is a "back door" on the lower level).  To the right is the living/dining room.  The large window faces south and lets in a lot of light during the day.  It overlooks a main street, but is not noisy at all.  There is a small balcony just off the living room on the left side (not visible).  The second door you see on the right from the front entry is the kitchen.  
 The kitchen is pictured below on the left.  Note the remarkably large refrigerator!  The stove is gas with 3 of 4 burners that work, and 2 of 4 grill tops that hold pots (makes for interesting usage).  It has a dishwasher, but since we only have 6 sets of dishes and have to wash after each meal, we're just doing them by hand.  Plenty of cabinet space. The master bed room (below on the right) and bath are to the left of the front entry.


There is a large tub and a shower (no enclosure).  You have to be a bit careful when showering, but the gigantic tub is wonderful!  The stairs lead down from the front entry way to the lower level and the kids rooms.


On the left is Delaney's room.  Plenty of drawer space to store the treasures that she is always collecting.  On the right is Adam's burrow (and yes, he is burrowed under the covers).

The kids have a bathroom with a second shower on the lower level.  There is also a washing machine, and remarkably - a dryer!  We put in our first load today.  We obviously need some further instruction because we ended up dumping water all over the floor when we opened the washer.  I expect we'll probably air dry many of our clothes since the dryers are not very efficient.


I'll take some pictures from the windows in the morning so you can see what kind of view we have. -Carolyn
