Yesterday we signed the lease for our new apartment at 777 Crescent Avenue in Bernal Heights. I did some sleuthing and found out that the building was constructed in 1912--so it's even older than our current apartment building. It's a really pretty unit, with a decorative fireplace in the living room, 3 sets of bay windows, French doors, our own entrance/stairs, hardwood floors with decorative inlays around the edge, a formal dining room with a built-in cabinet, 2 bedrooms, and a sunroom. When we found out that it comes with our own garaged parking space and washer/dryer hookups, and is only $50 more per month than we're currently paying, we were sold. It's got some quirky touches, too--like a lever on the stairs that allows you to open the front door from 10 feet away, a built-in ironing board in the sunroom, and a little fold-out seat at the phone nook in the hall.
The apartment has tons of windows all over the place--my plants are going to love it! It's exciting to know that we'll be exploring a new neighborhood, too. Bernal Heights is one of the sunniest neighborhoods in the city, and Cortland Avenue at the top of the hill is a ridiculously cute street. It will be so much fun to check out all of the neighborhood spots like we did when we moved to the Western Addition last year.
Pictures of the apartment itself to come!
