Escape from 70th

We did it. We have been looking for a few days and happened across this gem of a home located about 15 blocks from where we live now. Here are the details:

HUGE 1500 sq. ft. upper Duplex with 2 spacious Bedrooms + Library. Beautiful Living Room with leaded glass window and a Natural Fireplace. Formal Dining Room has built in buffet. Kitchen has newer gas range and refrigerator. Central air. If this weren't enough--there is an extra room that could be office, computer room, hobby room, den or ???? Sunroom in back overlooks Jacobus Park. Also has a 10x12' attic bedroom with full window and an additional 700 sq. ft. for a studio space. Close to public transportation, shopping, Medical College, downtown.

Also, the woman that lives in the other half of the duplex is the landlord, and her name is Bea. She already loves my kid, she has offered to watch him, and she's my mother's age. She will probably end up being the 3rd mother. A sweet lady. Aunt Bea.

Finally, we will have a spacious, quiet place to live and save enough money to put on a house in a year or two. Plus, I don't think she is a meth user, and I don't think she's been tazed by the cops lately.
