This is The World According to Buchs - Keepin’ it moving since 2003!

Well, we’re getting closer to a home. We had an offer accepted over the weekend, and are dropping off a big fat check tonight. We went back to the condo on Sunday to check things out one more time, and to go over some of the upgrade options. We ended up spending about an hour and a half going over tile, grout, carpet, and countertop options. It was a little more fun than I expected. Luckily, Our Guy didn’t mind sitting through it with us - although he did mention that he’s never seen people take 30 minutes to pick out a grout color before. Photos of the unfinished interior are in my gallery.

So, although I’m operating under the assumption that it’s not over until somebody hands me the keys, it’s pretty much a done deal.

It’s a two-bedroom, two-bath condo on Lafayette Street, between Prospect and Farwell - spitting distance of Sol Fire, and walking distance from the lakefront and that new Alterra. There’s a small balcony off the living room (big enough for a grill!), and a gas fireplace in the living room. We’ll use one of the bedrooms as office space, and the other has a huge walk-in closet. We’re also getting two underground parking spots with the unit.

These are photos from one of the models, which is slightly different than our unit. And, of course, that’s not my furniture.
