Home Sweet Mid-Rise

After becoming best buds with our real estate agent after spending more time with him than we did our friends for about two months, we found a place to call home. After the wedding, you can find us at:

360 W Wellington
Chicago 60657

We close on Friday, March 23 and start the heavy lifting that day. Painting commences soon after. (Hurry and sign up now as a volunteer mover or painter! Space is limited and highly desirable!) We won’t be fully moving in until after the wedding so that we aren’t leaving our things in an empty apartment for multiple weeks right away.

The vitals on our place:

• One bedroom.
• Enough room to fit all of our crud. Enough said.
• One side of the unit is entirely windows, so lots of sunlight and a great view of… the building across Sheridan. ;-) The other side of the building has lake views.
• A roof-top deck for sunning, taking in the view, watching the fireworks off of Navy Pier in the summer and a close-up view to the planes for the Air and Water Show as they semi-buzz our building. Ok, the plane part is an exaggeration… I think. We figured we’d be able to grill up there and were very excited about it, until we found that this is not the case. We can, however, take food and drinks up there at our leisure.
• Cheap laundry!
• A park and the lake-side running path are at the end of our block.
• We’re about three blocks north of Lincoln Park – 1 mile from the zoo, 2 miles from the beach. Bring your walkin’ shoes!

Parking is going to be a nightmare and we’ll be counting our pennies carefully, but we love the space and location and know we can live there happily as we adjust to living together after seven years of dating sans co-habitation.

We expect everyone to visit and visit often. Those bearing food will receive special treatment.
