PEI Apartment

This is what our empty apartment looks like. We will be downsizing by half to 925 square feet. We are going to store some items - since we hope to move into a small house on a small lot. Picture the living & dining area from the kitchen counter to the patio door - being the size of just my current living room (ie. move the dining table to the front of the fireplace). It will be cozy. There are 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom, a storage area which is quite large - we may have to put our bookcases in there. For some reason or other, the balconies on any of the apartments we looked at, were very small. Basically room for two camp chairs and a very small BBQ. Totally unlike the balconies in Toronto or Vancouver. It must be due to the shorter summers for outdoor living. There is a small fitness room on the main floor, an elevator (although there are only 3 floors). But we are on the 3rd floor and hauling groceries, etc up 3 flights of stairs at our age - nah!. We are next to the laundry area - but there is a laundy area on each floor, so hopefully it won't be too noisy and there are posted hours for doing laundry. The best thing is that we have a month to month lease - so the apartment is temporary until we decide what to do next. We are just behind the Stratford Town Centre (a community centre) with a free indoor walking track and fitness area with all kinds of fitness machines. There is also quite a long walking trail (the Stratford Trail) which also goes by the apartments. So Dad will get his walking exercise (he is feeling so much better now and very happy to be moving to PEI). We quite like the area.

View from patio door back to kitchen. The dining table will be just in front of the white counter which is where the sink is and dishwasher are located.

The kitchen area, obviously. The stove is apartment size so the turkey will have to be apartment size too :)

View from the counter to the patio door. The balcony is just slightly wider than the patio door and about 5 feet out.
