The house used to be a rooming house before we bought it and it was divided up into 5 different apartments. The three rooms on the third floor were one of these. The renter who lived there had inhabited it for nearly 20 years and I'm not sure he was mentally stable. Plus, he lived with incontinant cats. The sellers ripped out the carpet before we took possesion, but... So, the whole things needs to be really gutted and refinished to make it livable. It's too bad because one of the rooms is the cool turret one in the front. It could be such a neat room.<br /><br />Number of bedrooms? Depending on how you count it, there are 7, not including the third floor. A guest room on the first floor, and six bedrooms on the second. J. and I have one, B. has one, TM, D. and K. share one, A., P., G., and L. share one, one is our schoolroom, and M. has a very small one in the back. The boys' rooms are a tandem, so technically can't be counted as two rooms.<br /><br />And Sandwich, let me know if you ever visit Chicago. It would be fun to meet up.<br /><br />ethecurrysevenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08932092243753160814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25502633.post-76274782082754697412010-06-30T19:06:44.832-05:002010-06-30T19:06:44.832-05:00I love to hear about your house. I am a house jun...I love to hear about your house. I am a house junkie and I always make people give me tours of their house (every corner) when I visit, especially if they live in an INTERESTING house! I have dreams about forgotten rooms too and I love the thrill of discovering them and exploring them (in my dream).<br /><br />I am completely intrigued by the fact that you have a THIRD floor and THEN an attic! I've seen the picture of your playroom.<br /><br />Remind me (or tell me) why that 3rd floor is unusable. Please elaborate! Is it an exit issue? That would be my guess. <br /><br />How many bedrooms DO you have? <br /><br />I am interested in houses solely on the structural aspect, in a weird way. I really don't care about your decorating or the mess contained within. I just love the configurations. <br /><br />I do have a a walk-up attic (my FIRST!) in my current house which we are remodeling for our bedroom and a sitting room.<br /><br />I might have to get to know you IRL so I can visit the big ugly house. Oh, and you, too. :D<br /><br />blessings,<br />Sandwich, who might begin stalking you, just to see your house.
