Its happening again. The Valentines Day Gift Crisis.
Last year? Flowers. Year before? A teddy bear. The year before that? A romantic getaway that youre still paying off because you thought Bali over water bungalows was within budget.
And now? Youre fresh out of ideas. Youve scoured gift guides, consulted friends, even Googled Can you give a heartfelt IOU as a romantic gesture? Spoiler alert: No. No, you cannot.
Just as youre about to throw in the towel and buy a panic box of supermarket chocolates, fate intervenes. You walk past 30 Vine St, see a For Rent sign, and suddenlyit hits you.
What if the greatest gift of all is a whole new home?
Its so bold. So romantic. So utterly genius that you immediately decide to seek divine confirmation. And so, you write a letter to the only being qualified to approve such a grand romantic gesture.
Dear Cupid,
I think Ive found the one. Not a soulmatebeen there, done thatbut a top-floor apartment so stunning, it might just be my real true love.
Picture this: A sleek, modern kitchen with stainless-steel appliances, where I can whip up a romantic meal (or, lets be real, burn it and order pizza instead). A sprawling open-plan living area, perfect for cozy nights in or hosting dinner parties where we pretend to be sophisticated adults. And thenthe wraparound verandahs. City views so breathtaking, they should come with a warning label: "May cause spontaneous proposals."
And the master suite? Its got main character energy. Private ensuite. Built-in robes. Air conditioning for ultimate comforteven during dramatic relationship debates over who left the lights on.
And lets talk locationStones Corner perfection. Close to everything, yet peaceful enough to pretend we have our lives together. Lock-up garage and extra parking? Because nothing kills romance faster than circling the block 12 times looking for a park.
Cupid, if youre granting real estate miracles this year, send someone ready for a love story with killer city views. Because this apartment? Its too gorgeous to be single for long.
Yours hopelessly smitten,
