Our little world just jumped up a few rungs!

We found a place. It is not one that I have mentioned before. It is next door to the Mansion and AMAZING! It is called The Rouleau and is Premium Apartments. And Premium it is. The building is owned by the same people as the Mansion (the one bedroom they showed us was on the main floor and had no balcony - so no BBQ - no good for us!). So I asked about the other buildings. They had a couple one bedrooms and were willing to show us. We opened the door and our jaws dropped!!!! The building is 18 months old so everything is brand new. The floor plan is great -

It is about 100 sq ft bigger than ours. Ceramic tiles in the kitchen and bathroom, beautifully painted walls and big windows! We were already in love with the open style when he told me about the walk in closet. And then the dishwasher. And then, wait for it - the in-suite washer and dryer. That is huge! It is on the 12th floor facing south. We are high enough to see over the close by buildings and are facing the street - not some dirty back alley.

It is so secure to! You need a key pass to enter the building or use the elevator or any other room. When you are buzzed in, the guest needs to get to the elevator and press a button in 90 seconds. Your key pass will get you into the building and only onto the floor you live on. There is also a gym full of equipment and an entertainment room. This room has a pool table and 62" TV and couches. You can use the room anytime - or book it for a party!

The location is amazing to. The Bow River curves around to the east of it and then south at the next block south. We googled the location vs our current location. From here to Theatre Calgary is 2.2km - the new place - also 2.2 km. Walking to work still works!

We are so excited that I think we won't stop smiling for a week!

Check out the web site. The 1st picture in the series is what our suite looks like. I think the other pictures are just of other peoples furniture. (And we don't have a fireplace.)
