Zen and Apartment hunting

(From the balcony of the apt my mom and I saw. This is not a pic I took. It was not overcast today.)

Went today with my mom and Jazz to meet the agent for a 3 bd/2bth apt in Long Beach, NY.
The second we walked into the building to wait for the agent I had such a sense of peace and well being come over me.
There was a concierge and when a visitor comes in they have to sign in.

I lost the lump that had been sitting in my stomach and I just felt calm.

We looked at an apt on the 8th floor. The building I think has 10 floors.

My first impression when I walked in was, damn this place is a fucking mess. The people renting there now are in the middle of moving to a house. It took me a few minutes to get past the clutter. Jazzy took to it immediately and found their cat.

Okay, you come in the front door and turn left. The first thing you see is a large balcony that overlooks the ocean on one side and the street on the other. Then there is a large kitchen with D/W microwave etc.. that opens up to a HUGE Living room. We are talking it could be a studio apt all on its own.
Going back the other way is a large closet then a bathroom, nice size but needs a good cleaning. Then there are two bedrooms, not too small not too large. Another closet on the right with a Washer/Dryer.
Then the master bedroom. Another huge room. The bathroom has two sinks, shower and jaccuzzi tub. And the balcony. Again looks both onto the ocean and onto the street.
It was, even with all the clutter and mess, very airy, lots, tons of light.
Only water is included though.
There are also two parking spaces reserved which is incredibly important during the summer and there is no street parking.

It is expensive, but so far that is the only down side. I asked my mom for her gut feeling, no logic, no reasoning, just gut. She said "This is what I have always wanted". That, along with the very calming positive vibes I felt, means that it is very high on the list. We will work out the money.

It was very interesting how I felt the whole time I was in this building.
I know some people do not believe in karma or psychi inner eye but I swear that from the second I was in that building all my stress and such were gone. Even with all the mess, I felt a light and floaty type of feeling in that apt. Incredibly Zen, purely intuitive emotion.
Even if we do not get this apt, I know that moving into a place similar, with the same airy feeling and a kick ass balcony, will be the best thing for all of us.
