Today's second update, please recommend, please subscribe!

Prince Street is located in the lower part of Manhattan. It is filled with an old and gentlemanly European atmosphere. It is within walking distance from the bustling areas of Washington Square, Greenwich Village, and Soho. However, Prince Street, which is surrounded by bustling areas, is a veritable living block, and the surrounding Thomason Street and Sullivan Street are living areas. However, Prince Street starts from McDougall Street in the west, Elizabeth Street in the east, and borders Broadway Avenue in the middle.

No. 11 Prince Street, this is naturally close to the west street. When you walk out from No. 11, there is an alley between No. 10 and No. 11, and when you go east to No. 14, you can see To the Thomason Street at the junction, the location of No. 12 and No. 13 in the middle are very good. Not facing the street means that it will not be too noisy. At the same time, the neighbors are all high-quality white-collar workers. is not bad.

From No. 11 to No. 12, there is a row of plane trees. When the slander incident happened, Evan Bell saw Blake Lively waiting for him here. The plane tree was broken at the gate of No. 12. The gate was a small ramp. From the street all the way through the carved gate, you could drive the car directly into the gate. Since it is used as a warehouse, most vehicles will reverse into the gate and load and unload in the small courtyard inside the gate to avoid blocking normal traffic to Princes Street.

The small courtyard is spacious, and parking a truck is absolutely no problem. The courtyard is just poured with simple cement. No bricks were laid, so the tire prints of the trucks were printed on them, which looked very messy. Even if there are two pots of canna in the corner. There is still no taste of the courtyard, and it is more appropriate to say that it is a parking lot.

There is a security guard on duty at the door, and you can enter after registering your name and company name. Since the "Eleven" men's clothing has a warehouse here, Evan Bell and his party of three can easily go in.

Standing in the courtyard, looking at this four-story building with gray walls, the appearance is bland and I can't figure out anything special. Compared with the exquisite simplicity of No. 11 Prince Street, it really looks like a warehouse. , when it was used as an apartment building before, it was estimated that it was not very popular with tenants.

In addition to the iron gate between the courtyard and the street, there is a sturdy security door on the first floor, with 24-hour surveillance video installed on both sides. As a warehouse security measures are in place. After entering the first floor, the stairs to the left of the door are the stairs, and the line of sight is a long corridor, with rooms on both sides, but because the warehouse doors on both sides are locked, so the sun does not come in , the corridor is damp and dark. There were also some scattered bricks, stones and cardboard boxes on the ground, which should be the **** left over from entering and leaving the warehouse.

There are two warehouses on the left and two warehouses on the right. The whole structure is very simple. Each warehouse is a metal door. The middle is separated by a cement wall. According to Eden Hudson, there used to be four rooms on the left and four rooms on the right. Later, in order to make a warehouse, the walls between the two rooms were knocked down and merged into one. A large warehouse is used.

Each warehouse covers an area of ​​about 600 square feet (fifty-six square meters), which is not large. You can imagine how narrow the living area of ​​residents in a warehouse was when it used to be two rooms. The size of the four warehouses plus the corridors is about 2,400 square feet per floor, plus there is a green belt around the building, a small courtyard at the entrance, and a garden by definition at the back - actually It's less than 160 square feet (15 square meters) of space, and overall, the building's footprint is no more than 2,700 square feet.

The entire building area of ​​11 Princes Street is 2,300 square feet, and the overall area here is slightly larger.

When the Bell family bought Eleven Princes Street, September 11 had just passed, and house prices had plummeted. They bought it for just $2.5 million. But now five years have passed, not to mention that the construction of the Freedom Tower is over halfway through, and the prosperity of the entire Lower City has long since resumed. Eleven Princes Street, despite the factors of Evan Bell, has caused house prices to rise a lot. According to market price estimates, four million may not be available now.

However, No. 11 Prince Street was originally a residence, and the original decoration inside was very valuable. Now, the price of No. 12, which is used as a warehouse, can be slightly suppressed. But the problem is that on the 11th, the owner planned to sell it, and it was easy to buy it; but the 12th has been operating as a warehouse for several years now, and the owner of the house has no idea what the plan is.

Besides, if you really buy No. 12, the decoration is also a big problem. Except for the structure of a house, everything else has to be redecorated, basically it is a rough house.

I talked about the house at breakfast just now, and then Evan Bell didn't have the heart to go to bed, so he took Teddy Bell and Eden Hudson downstairs to see the house.

Evan Bell thinks that since the No. 12 next door is used as a warehouse, if they can buy it and move in after the renovation, it will be close and convenient. This is naturally the best. But the wish is beautiful, the reality is cruel. Not to mention the decoration problem, just talking about such a large area of ​​a house, whether the owner is willing to make a move is a problem.

"What do you think?" Evan Bell stood in the corridor on the second floor and looked around carefully. Because the light was not transparent and the ventilation effect was not good, the whole space was very stuffy, and the dampness on the walls was also very serious. , It is estimated that it is autumn. Fortunately, there are dark windows in the warehouse, otherwise it is not good for storing goods.

If you really live here, you will have to rearrange the positions of the windows during the renovation. In fact, this is not much different from building a new house. But on the other hand, it is also a very good idea to renovate and build a residence according to all your ideas. Although Evan Bell is not an interior design professional, he does not understand anything about it.

Teddy Bell looked at Evan Bell with a smile, "Just say yes." He has always had no opinion on these issues. Anyway, Evan Bell is a picky, and also a fine, if Evan -Bell can say yes, and he couldn't be better. Although he had his eye on 11 Princes Street, the final decision was made by Evan Bell.

Eden Hudson stood still and didn’t speak. Evan Bell stared at him for a long time without getting a response, which made Evan Bell wonder if the lights in the corridor were too dim, so he didn’t see himself eyes. "Eden, what do you think?" Evan Bell had no choice but to ask.

Eden Hudson still didn't answer directly, he seemed to be half a beat late, and then he said, "How are you going to arrange it?" He didn't answer Evan Bell's question directly, it seems that Evan Bell's choice There are not many opinions, just asking Evan Bell for the arrangement of the house.

Evan Bell seemed to have a draft in mind, and when he heard the question, he said, "Well, the first floor is a public place, we can clean up the front courtyard and the so-called garden in the back, and then put the TV here. Computers, computers, game consoles and other facilities are installed, which can be used as a reception room or an entertainment room. There is a kitchen on the first floor. If you want to have dinner, it will be on the first floor. Then there are three floors upstairs, each of us on one floor. How do you feel about redecorating it according to your own ideas?"

Listening to Evan Bell's description, Eden Hudson was obviously a little surprised. He didn't expect Evan Bell to plan this way. Evan Bell went on to say, "I've always thought it was good, a group of friends lived together, and then the first floor became a gathering place for everyone, and if Kathleen Bell wanted to stop by, it was very easy; at the same time, everyone had In your own space, if you have anything to do, just go upstairs and downstairs and knock on the door, it’s not very convenient. If you usually feel bored of being alone, just come down to the first floor and sleep on the sofa…”

Speaking of which, Evan Bell danced like a child, running around in the corridor on the second floor, "We can buy a super long and super soft sofa and put it in the middle of the first floor, on the one hand, it is used as a partition space. On the one hand, it can also allow us to sit on it and watch TV, and even sleep without a problem. Then hang a large LCD screen on the opposite wall, and watch TV and movies without any problem..."

Evan Bell described it there with great enthusiasm, obviously the images in his mind were endless. The eyes of Eden Hudson and Teddy Bell met in the air, and there was a smile in their eyes. This kind of life really couldn't be better. Moreover, this place is very close to home. If you want to find Catherine Bell, just walk out of the house next door, and it is easy for Catherine Bell to come over and run through the doorEden Hudson took his eyes back, His face was still calm, but there was a warm current in his heart. If you can buy this place and arrange it according to your own wishes, then you can consider yourself a home. Home, the word has been unfamiliar to him for too long, even a little unfamiliar, but when he thinks about it at this time, he suddenly feels that it cannot be more intimate.

"Okay. We'll buy it here." Teddy Bell didn't interrupt his brother, but waited for Evan Bell to finish before saying it decisively, with a doting smile on his face, wanting to see Evan Bell. It's not easy for Wen Bell to have such a cheerful expression, "You can implement whatever decoration concept you have. I don't have any opinions on it. It's better for you to help me take care of my floor." Tingtai Di Bell's domineering tone did not seem to worry about the owner's unwillingness to sell the house. But the fact is also true, this is not an ancestral house, the owner will use it as a warehouse just hoping to have income, then this building must have a price. Therefore, Teddy Bell is so determined.

"And me." Eden Hudson added abruptly beside him.
