![]() there are no long hallways to slide down in your socks like the chicago apartment, but rooms leading onto rooms opening into other rooms like a russian treasure box or an alice in wonderland maze. it’s so stereotypical south (and so very, very far from the noisy cold of chicago) that you want to laugh, but inside the floors are real, dark, smooth, polished aged wood-not parquet like in dc or tile like in houston-and the rugs are just as lush as in the sf penthouse. there are brick-based columns across the wide front porch and a real swing and deep white rockers next to huge pots-vats really-full of what you are sure will be hydrangeas come springtime. ![]() Pulling in the driveway all you can think is that this is the kind of house they were trying to duplicate back in charlotte: the real southern living deal-a big beautiful old (but newly renovated) house in an area they are calling the virginia highlands, with no hills to be seen and two states separated from virginia. ![]()
