Come and see our new home...

Our new (to come) home in Ulsan... is a condo named Prugio (don't bother googling it... everything is written in Korean)... It is located 10 min from Blake's work and 10 min from Pierce school (which I will be taking him and picking him up everyday so this will be nice) and daddy will not get stuck in traffic for hours (can't wait).  We are close to a large park, a street market and a Homeplus (which is like a Korean Wal-mart).

There are several towers of condo's in the complex (it is large) but unlike our condo here it is not really on a campus style... there are streets in between the towers and we got lost several times as we were checking them out.  They are the newest ones in town (we did look downtown Ulsan but longer commutes) and we feel in love with it as soon as we walked in.

This is the entrance to our tower...

Did I mention they are tall... wow...and notice no balconies or clothes hanging from the windows...

There is a small school down stairs... maybe a good place to put the baby when he grows up...

And check out this gym... now I know ViVi is going to love this... 

Welcome to our unit #1303... this was the third or fourth unit we looked at in this condo (and the second day to return) and they were all a little different but this one was the one for us... God orchestrated so much while we were there... this unit had only been on the market for 2 weeks and the owner was currently living there (temporarily) and we are so thankful that she was there during our viewing bc we got to seal the deal before we walked away... no contract at that point (which made me nervous) but our agent told us that it was DONE... and sure enough a couple of weeks later we got the contract.

Now let me say this was the second day that we had been looking and the other places (oh I have pics if you want to see) we had looked at were not new or were just not us or not located where we wanted... we did not have to have new but it sure does make it easier along the way... so come on in...

Our front door... we share a quad entrance with 3 other doors... so on our floor there are 4 units.

Once inside you are welcome with a huge space for dumping stuff... shoes, bags, umbrellas, purses, etc... most of the units in this condo had another door where this mirror was that made it feel small but this one was all open... it was so nice.

And let me go on and on about the storage space... maybe bc there are 4 proper seasons that require a lot of gear but Korea knows how to do storage... every space available in the condo that is not used for eating or sleeping it storage... and this is just our entrance way storage and there are two of them...now all my friends in the USA might say that is not all that great... but all my friends in Singapore will totally understand... 

Once you drop off your shoes and bags you are greeted by this hallway... at one end you have the guest bath and the guest room... and check out that floor... love the color and it is also where the heat comes from... all the floors are heated... yeah....

Guest Bath... beautiful!

And here is the guest room... hurry hurry hurry... come and stay with us... we can't wait to have visitors... and of course there will be a bed and few decorative items...

Now this is not really a balcony but sort of... they use it for storage and drying clothing (or that is usually what I saw with the other units).  The floors is not heated and there is not air con out here... but I am sure we will figure it out for something... a great place for the kids to run around in and play.  Also the guest room's "balcony" is connected to the next room which will be Pierce's room.... so watch our guest you might get a surprise visitor at night...

Here is Pierce's room... exactly the same as the quest room... even the matching wallpaper :-)... not really a big wallpaper fan but this was the best I saw while on our trip...

More storage... are you in love yet... these are along the whole hallway leading to the kitchen and living room... see next picture the whole wall on the right is storage.

Turn Right from the front door and you head to Pierce's room , Kitchen and living room and more.

Our huge living room... with a great view... we are so excited about this space since we have a feeling this is where everyone will be...

Now gadgets are everywhere... and this is just one of them... kind of like a security system but not really it controls all the lights, heat, circulation, calling the security, etc... great but it is written in Korean... I need cheat sheets please.

Our View from the living room... see the beach... oh yeah!

Right behind the living room is the baby room (or study in this case)... also has a balcony.

The kitchen is connected to the dinning room (in pic here) and the living room... it is all one  big room and we love it.  Check out that kitchen... and there are two refrigerators... one here that you can see that is white on the right and another that is built it on the back wall in brown on the left.. what to do with two refrigerators... guess I better start learning how to cook... and that island... with a built in warmer for hot food.

Now I had to add this picture... a sink is a sink but check out how big it is with no middle bar... a great sink to wash a baby what do you say?  Also that little white/grey thing to the left of the sink is a veggie/fruit washer... oh yeah... this might be the thing that sold it for me...

And a kitchen TV... why doesn't every kitchen have one of these... 

This is the wet room on the side of the kitchen that is separated by a small hallway and door... with a sink and more storage... the red freezer will be taken away before we get there so sad I was looking forward to having a kimchi freezer..

On the same wall as the TV in the living room is a door for the master bedroom... I did not get a lot of great pics of the master bc the owner was living there and all her stuff was there... but here is closet and bathroom for the master room... with a built in vanity.

This is not our master but very similar... we too have a balcony/drying room.

Here Blake and owners agent looking at the storage room on the balcony... looks like a great place for luggage right?

Here is the drying rack... and it raises up and down depending if you are using it or not.

Welcome to our master bathroom... oh yeah that is our toilet with an assortment of gadgets next to the toilet paper I don't even know what all that is for... but I do know the toilet is heated... oh boy.

A picture to entice Pierce to get excited about living here... this is our playground... a rocket ship playground with a slide... oh we will be spending a lot of time here I have a feeling...


Sorry about the crazy pic and writing layout... but blogger decided to have a mind of its own and I am tired of messing with it... sorry... but hope you enjoyed our first viewing... next time we will have furniture...
