Inside One Park Place

 Since the BMA Tower was converted into condominiums several years ago, I've always wanted to see what one looks like.   I got my chance this week.  Above and below the north side of the iconic structure at 31st and Southwest Trafficway.

 The unit I got to photograph is a two-bedroom. Above the living/dining room and below the entryway.

 Above and below, the kitchen.  Door on the left above hides the washer and dryer.

 Each bedroom has it's own full bath.

 Gym, exercise rooms, common areas, and swimming pool included. 

 Outdoor pool on the right above.

This unit will be listed with Eric B and Associates.

Historic Northeast Mini-Mansions Volume 4

Built in 1901 this home has been lovingly restored in Pendleton Heights.  

Original wood throughout...unpainted.

 Old and new in harmony.

 The homeowners did the remodel design and most of the work themselves. 

 Secret play area under the front stairs.

 Master bedroom has french doors out to the sleeping porch.

 The home was cut up into three apartments in the 1940s.. the restoration left only the third floor apartment intact... but it too was remodeled. (Above and below)

 Awesome view from the third floor balcony. 

 Above looking southwest, below looking northeast.  Garfield School on the left.

This will be coming on the market soon... through Eric B. and Associates.

Backyard Birds

With practice I AM getting better at photographing these little hyperactive dinosaurs.
