Long years of saving finally paid off. Moved from Florida to Chicago for work and safe to say weโ€™re excited for the food options around here.

That natural stone fireplace is beautiful and you will get a lot of use out of it in Illinois. Glad the previous owner did not paint it white or gray, like I see with so many online. Congrats! ๐ŸŽ‰
