I don't know who was happier to close this one ... me or Drew. He had staked out a short sale for about 6 months. Finally, Drew decided to move on, and when he did things happened quickly. Drew ended up getting a great 1 bedroom condo that was just a block from the USPTO / his place of employment.
The Jamieson is a great building in a great location and I'd love to show it to you if you want to go take a look while they still have condos left here. I know Drew's excited about his new home and I'm glad we were finally able to put this one away.
When all was said and done, Drew's mom snapped this photo at Walker Title. It was good to finally get to closing!
A Modern style that architects created to sequester certain living activities--such as sleeping or socializing--split levels offered an multilevel alternative to the ubiquitous style in the 1950s. The nether parts of a typical design were devoted to a garage and TV room; the midlevel, which usually jutted out from the two-story section, offered "quieter" quarters, such as the living and dining rooms; and the area above the garage was designed for bedrooms.
Found mostly in the East and Midwest, split-levels, like their Ranch counterparts, were constructed with various building materials.
