Due to professional reasons, I will be moving out within the next few months. The thought of leaving Victorian makes me emotional, as Victorian has made this place home. I've appreciated living here for many reasons within the past year. First of all, my unit has breathtaking character: 12 foot ceilings, decorative chandeliers, a beautiful unexpected location for my bathtub, an old-fashioned staircase up to my unit and two spacious balconies for me to enjoy. Visiting my neighbor’s apartments, I
...can tell you they are all differently characterized in the best way possible. No cookie cutter layouts here! A little imagination can turn this place into a bohemian palace. Friends and family I would have over would be in complete admiration over the place. I loved telling them the history, as this place dates back to the 1850’s and was an important part of history in Marietta and the Civil War! Secondly, there are many activities to explore at the square and all within walking distance (about a 7 minute healthy walk). This includes live music (You MUST check out the live music on the terrace every Friday and Saturday night at The Strand Theater or The Lumiere Lounge Piano bar), restaurants (Marietta Pizza!!!), bars (Two Birds and McCracken’s Irish Pub), antique shops, museums, library, theater, parks, and soon to be a brewery and food hall (I am so mad I am not living here while this is all happening!). I have enjoyed my Saturday and Sunday mornings walking or biking to the local farmer’s and artisan’s market. There is a creative natural energy that surrounds this residence that you will not find anywhere else, from the tall Walnut tree to the humming birds that swiftly sail by outside my approximate 9ft windows. SO much beautiful natural light. Thirdly, the buildings are full of artsy, intellectual individuals of which I've made great lifelong friendships with. They have inspired me. Lastly, the staff is helpful and accommodating. Any time I have had an issue, Lali at the office has always had someone come by and take care of the situation in a timely, professional manner, even when I have not had the time to physically be at my unit. The staff even delivers thoughtful gifts from time to time. I was surprised to find a cupcake delivered at my door on Valentine’s day. Victorian is a bit secluded from the chaos of the busy street and I was lucky to find this hidden gem. I hope one day, that because I found it, that It will one day find me living here again.
