If you were one of the two winners of the 648 million Mega Millions jackpot today, then I have a listing that you just might be interested in.

Here’s the low-down:

• Location: Upper East Side — E. 69th street
• Year Built: 1883
• Square Feet: 20,000
• Bedrooms: 7
• Levels: 6
• Amenities: three-tiered rooftop deck, saltwater pool and spa, heated sidewalk, media room

and then that other small detail.. Oh yeah, the price. The price is….

$144,077,000! Including an annual property tax of $178,246

But don’t worry, the lotto winnings should cover that — no problem! As I’ve mentioned before, I have quite the fascination with NYC’s real estate. I’ve eased off my addiction a little after my move because of the nightmarish process. But, alas I couldn’t pass up sharing this gem. 

Talk about a grand entrance! Bam, this one is winning at that statement. Normally, I’m not much for gaudy king-like decor, but I’ll let this one slide. Especially because this mansion’s decor was actually inspired by the Palace of Versailles.

And with a bathroom like that, well, I’d say it is indeed fit for a king.

Oh yeah, and the fact that it has a movie theatre and a beautiful library… Not bad, not bad I say. So yeah, if you just won the lotto, check out these digs and feel free to call up your friendly neighbor Anna and I’d be happy to come test out the pool for you!

It’s official, I’ve been living at my own apartment for over 4 months! That’s 1/3 of a year.. Say what? That went by fast. While I’ve loved all of the people I was lucky enough to call my roomies, it is nice to be on my own now. I’ve always been an independent person and living alone has been a goal of mine since living in Portland (throwback 2009). I had to take a back-step when I decided to move to New York, but I’m really happy and proud of myself for finally making it a reality. 

So what are my favorite things about living alone?

1.) Decor options! I can do whatever I want, whenever I want without offending anyone else’s taste. Not everyone loves my bright, patterned and glittered decor, but I sure do! 

2.) Buying less of everything! I bought a 4 pack of toilet paper and it lasted two months. I’m also still working on the 1/2 bottle of dish soap I moved with. This would never happen in any of my past apartments.

3.) My apartment — my rules. If I want to veg out and watch a whole day’s worth of House Hunters, in my pjs, no one is going to look at me twice. Not that this was ever a big issue with any of my past roomies, but it’s nice to be able to be a bum all by myself. 

4.) If I want to run around the apartment and have a dance party to Taylor Swift songs — I can.

5.) Can you say — the whole fridge, every cabinet and drawer are all mineeee {insert evil laugh}. No need to label anything or forget whose apples are on the bottom shelf or worrying about where I’m going to store those winter coats in the summer!

All and all, Scoots and I are pretty happy campers in our own place!

Happy Friday the 13th everyone! I have some new posts coming up this weekend for you :)
