Southwood Townhomes held a Christmas open house in one of the six renovated units on Saturday. Laurel and I attended during the last hour, and had cookies, hot spiced cider, and a visit with Santa. The renovations are cosmetically appealing, but can't change the age nor fundamental condition of the apartments. We also notice that the decorator omitted such essentials as the television, chests of drawers, and other common pieces of furniture a family would normally bring, so the rooms look quite spacious (which they are, really.) The major and most obvious change is the opening in the wall between the dining room and the living room. I think it opens the living space and lets more light into the rooms; some don't like it because it takes away prime wall space that could support an entertainment center or book cases.
In any case, Nick says it will be at least 6 months before he can begin selling the units. We may be forced to decide whether to buy or move in the coming year.
