Route27

Home sweet future after-we-fix-this-mess-up home…

Mara Levin and Andrew Kucharski would like to announce to the world our engagement on June 17th 2005.

After looking at 15+ properties Mara and I have decided to bid on a two flat at in Albany Park, a north west part of City of Chicago. The asking price was 335. We wrote up a contract at Bar on Buena the day before my b-day. Morgan Sage our realtor was quite patient with us while the guests for my b-day party came around. We wrote up the contract with beers in hand with more than a handful of contributors and pundits.

The next day we took off for Herberts wedding. The nerves started tensing up when we received a final counter offer for 325. We were told no more negotiations, that was the fnial deal. But I was not satisifed, much to Mara’s dismay.

After one more counter offer, and three days later, we received a txt message from Morgan that read:

“We have a deal at 321.6″

And that is how the DIY fixer upper adventure begins.

Some of us sweat it out to the hamptons every weekend on New York State route 27, hence the name. We now live in Chicago, New York and Paris.
