Chapel Hill Apartment!

Kristie and I were down in Chapel Hill this weekend, and we've settled on an apartment. We're really excited - it's close to school, and in a place called Southern Village (a sweet little development with shops, restaurants, outdoor performance space, movie theatre - and even John Edwards campaign offices!). Here's the link for the Village:

(it looks like the NC Orchestra is having a free concert the first week we move in).

As to the apartment itself, here is the write-up - I'll post pictures below:

Chapel Hill Apartment!

The view from our balcony! We're on the third floor, at the end of the building. We're planning on getting either our own table/chairs or getting Adirondack chairs to take advantage of the view.
Master bedroom - lots of light, and we're hoping to buy the beautiful bureau from the owner. Directly behind where the photograph is being taken is the master bathroom, walk-in closet and linen closet (no pictures of those)
The living room, including the dining room (with a great chandelier) and the entrance to the guest bathroom/guest bedrooms.
The living room from the entrance to the guest bath and guest bedrooms. The fireplace is wood burning, and that's the entrance to the balcony at the back right. The door directly in front is to the master bedroom.
View of the living room from the kitchen. Love the pillars - and we're hoping they'll leave or sell the two rugs to us, because they're just beautiful). The balcony is off the living room (to the left of the chair at back), so the room is flooded with light.
This is the kitchen itself. Not so excited about the stove, but the rest of it is super-cute. And the counter-space! It's amazing!)

A view of the kitchen - we love the breakfast bar (they're leaving the stools for us) - and the closets you can see to the right hold the washing machine and dryer; another set of closets, closer and out of the frame, are for coats etc.)
Dining room - the dining room/kitchen/living room is all an open plan, which we really like)

Here is the guest bathroom (no picture of the master bathroom, but it's pretty much the same)


This is one of the guest bedrooms - the other one will probably be Kristie's office (we don't have a picture of that one, but it's flooded with light)
