FINALLY!!!!
We have been in "talks" with a kind man who owns a condo in a fabulous Pasadena location. It was out of our price range, but so great that we pursued it anyways. He has been wonderful to work with and liked us enough to lower the price enough that we could make it work. At any rate, as of this morning (and August 1) it is ours!
Here are the important details:
1) They take dogs
2) LOCATION - It is less than a mile from Fuller and right near the pretty part of downtown Pasadena (here is the link to the location if you're interested:) http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=1115+cordova+street+%2B+91106&sll=34.079394,-118.063202&sspn=0.296873,0.510864&ie=UTF8&ll=34.145269,-118.135514&spn=0.01854,0.031929&z=15
3) It is NICE and BIG (1,000 square feet)
4) 2 bedroom, 2 bath
5) A kitchen with all the appliances - refrigerator, stove, dishwasher, sink, etc. (that may seem like a given, but trust me, it is NOT)
6) A wonderful landlord willing to pay to replace things that are out of date
7) Super secure - our friends had to hop the wall to get in to see it. It's completely fenced in which is great with Henry
8) A pool!!! What person could live in LA without a pool?
9) Just all around a nice, clean, large, great place to live
10) And we KNOW where we're living! I'm about to live anywhere just to know, so the relief I feel having this taken care of (or mostly taken care of) is huge.
So yay! What a huge relief this is to us, since Matt leaves with the moving truck on July 20.
My only little source of anxiety ... is that I don't feel like it's final until we get there and get the keys. Since this is through an individual (he owns the condo) and not a company, there hasn't been much paperwork, money exchanged, etc. I know this guy is legit, that's not a concern, but I'll just feel completely settled once we have some sort of documentation letting us know FOR SURE that it's ours.
But I am 95% sure that it is!!!
So after September 15, come visit! We'll have an extra bedroom and bathroom :).
