Il me semble que c'est un Docteur qui a fait construire cette demeure, depuis le site a été reconverti en plusieurs appartement avec un parking a l'arrière et un immense jardin.
La zone au centre de la photo avec plein de fenêtre et des rhododendrons en fleur c'est un espace commun, une sorte de terrasse couverte ou les gens pouvaient se retrouver.
Au sous-sol du bâtiment il y avait des espaces de stockage et un lavomatic a pieces.
Ci-dessous une photo aux proportions plus correcte.
To finish my internship series, I wanted to tell you about the apartment where I lived with Hubby. This apartment was part of a beautiful historical building on which you can see a panoramic above (note: the photo deforms the shape, the road seen on both ends is a same and should be straight).
I think it was a Doctor who has this splendid house build, since then the site was transformed into a series of apartment with a parking in the back and a huge backyard.
At the center of the picture where there is many windows and blooming rhododendrons is a common space, a covered porch where people could gather.
In the basement there were storage units and a coin fed lavomatic.
Below is a picture with more accurate proportions.
We would enter by the kitchen. In fact we had two doors, one opening to the kitchen, the other one to the bedroom. The kitchen was of good size. We only had a small table to eat but for the tow of us it was sufficient. It's where I discovered cooking on an electric stove and where I learned to make vegetarian food.
La porte de droite amène a la chambre.
From the kitchen we could access the living room. Huge space, wooden floors, high ceilings, big windows, built in library, etc. A fabulous space where we spent most of our time if we were home.
The door to the right leads to the bedroom.
Avant que je n'emménage, Hubby avait un parfois une colocataire. Comme l'appartement n'avait qu'une chambre, avec sa première co-loc ils avait crées une chambre de tissu, en accrochant un tissu epais au plafond, cache derrière c'est le "placard". N'ayant pas besoin de faire chambre a part cet espace derrière le rideau était finalement pas utilise, mais nous n'avions de toute façon pas assez de meuble pour remplir tout l'espace.
Les détails du bois au sol (regardez le long des murs) et les fenêtres me manquent. Il est a noter que sous les trois fenêtres ce n'est pas un meuble mais le couvre-radiateur.
You can see the chandelier, in the back a door leading to the bathroom.
Before I moved in with Hubby he had several room mates. Since the apartment only had one bedroom, him and his first room mate created a fabric bedroom by hanging heavy fabric to the ceiling, hiden behind it was the "closet". Since we didn't need to be in separate bedrooms, this space in the back was scarcely used, but we didn't have enough furniture to fill it anyway.
I miss the wood floor details (look along the walls) and the windows. Note that under the three windows it's not a building but a radiator cover.
The bathroom wasn't big, but it had the advantage of one of the great clawfoot tub. I spent many hours in the middle of a bubble bath. I have to say that water and electricity were included in our rent.
Our bedroom, I never had such a big one. A side of the wall was semi-circular with tall windows. In the end the hardest thing was to find how to fill the space. I loved to wake up with the sunlight. I dream of a similar bedroom in our future.
And to finish the closet... well almost because originally it was the safe of the house. To enter the coset we had to open the vault door. In fact it was so heavy that we left it open. You see the black furniture on the left? It's a safe inside the safe, dating back to the Docor. Nothing inside it, but it was made of wood and had nice paintings on it.
I loved living in this apartment inside a historic house. I hope one day we'll find a house with the charm of ancient windows and wood floors.
