I bought a little home in the city and I actually do adore it! I have hardwood floors, cement countertops and three study rooms with 1 lavatory.
It is perfect for a single man such as myself… The backyard is quite tiny but I don’t need much room.
The neighbors are right on top of myself and others but I am used to it. To me, it is worth having close neighbors in order to be close to everything else. I can ride our bike to the bank, grocery store, hardware store, bars and all the popular diners. That is worth just about anything. The only con to our home is the window localement! Whoever the architect was did a terrible job. I realized that there is no spot in the home to sit that a window doesn’t show me. I didn’t realize how often I walk around with no pants until I had this window issue; Anytime I have to change our clothes, I need to shut the blinds on about a million windows. I have started looking into decorative window movies. I don’t actually love our view, I just want privacy. There are windows movies that have a fogged glass look that I believe is perfect for the study room and lavatory. The other windows I might add a tint to them. It makes the windows look black from the outside however clear inside. That way I can walk around with no pants and not worry about blinds. I believe prefer adding this window tint will only add value to our home.
