You were in
Chicago Grace and you didn't let us know!
It would have been a great reason to arrange a Meet-Up!

We recently put an offer in on a huge house. We are currently living in a cluttered, extremely small home (5 of us), and this house would expand our space by 400%. It has many features I like- designed to catch ocean winds (and a great ocean view), yard separated by rock wall from neighbors, laminate and tile flooring throughout, ceiling fans in all rooms, stairs (to me, houses should always have stairs, but I haven't lived in a house with stairs--two stories-- in over a decade, and I've never owned a house with stairs), and a nice, open flow that manages to make the living/dining/kitchen all connected, yet hide the kitchen from those entering the house. So many houses I've lived in have opened right to a view of the kitchen or right into the kitchen, and I don't like that.

We designed ours so that the kitchen is immediately beyond the entry space, because that is where it seems that most people end up congregating. I never thought of it like that.

(Keep your fingers crossed for me, I hope we get this house!!)

Good luck getting this house! It sounds wonderful!
