Four fireplaces & not a flame
I love living in this area! I was born in the far north region of the country & things just don’t have as much soul there! Living in the South, I feel like there is just more character & personality in every human & every structure… Perhaps it’s the rich history here, or perhaps it’s the heat making everybody just a little bit naughty, either way, I am cheerful to live in a location where people & buildings are consistently interesting, but one of my number one hobbies is looking at homes on the housing market.
I am a big fan of perusing the online ads & even stopping by open houses to take a look, recently, I was checking out a brand new offering on the market when I realized that it was a historic gem of particular eccentricities & personality; The apartment is from 1930, & it looks like it.
It has 10 foot ceilings, attractive wood floors, & a strange boiler that currently only serves for decoration; You see, the original builders of this apartment installed four attractive fireplaces throughout the tiny structure. These mornings, it is not necessary to rely on wood burning fireplaces for heat. It also absolutely is not safe to operate these nearly 100 year old fireplaces in a honestly flammable home. That’s why, all of the fireplaces were completely plugged up. Their ornate mantels were attractive to look at, however had honestly no functional heating purpose.The longer I looked at to this adorable old house, the more I desire to live among the decorative fireplaces, and knowing that I could have the energy efficiency & comfort of central heat, however the added bonus of pretty heating elements in every room was honestly particular , indeed.
