Глава 25. Часть 2. Сергей приходит к своему временному дому. Chapter 25. Part 2. Sergei arrives at his temporary home.

Сергей вышел из кафе в хорошем настроении. Ему нужно было пройти немного назад, чтобы прийти к дому, где ждал его Константин, квартиросдатчик (apartment lord). Дом, в котором Сергей арендовал квартиру, был расположена (located, situated, placed, positioned - describes the act of being in a specific place or position, often suggesting convenience or accessibility) недалеко от того сквера, который он проходил по пути в кафе. Расстояние было совсем небольшое, так что он мог идти не торопясь. Улица Луначарского, дом 2

Сергей прошел путь от кафе до дома всего за 15 минут, хотя и старался не торопиться. Видимо приятный день и хорошее настроение делало его походку энергичнее. Так что он пришел на место с запасом. И пока назначенное время не наступило, он решил обойти (to go around, circumvent, circle, bypass - the action of walking around an object or area, often for exploration or to gain a different perspective; can imply seeking alternatives) вокруг дома, посмотреть, что находится поблизости (nearby, close by, in the vicinity, around - refers to the area that is not far away, suggesting convenience and accessibility to certain places or services).

Дом был довольно старый, вероятно, ему было более 70 лет, хотя внешне был в хорошем состоянии, штукатурка (plaster, coating, render, stucco - a material used to cover walls, providing both aesthetic appeal and protection; also implies the state of maintenance of a building) была освежена (refreshed, renewed, revitalized, revitalised - describes something that has been restored to a better condition, suggesting an update or improvement; has metaphorical implications of rejuvenation) и стены были покрашены (painted, coated, colored, varnished - the process of applying a layer of color to a surface, enhancing its visual appeal while also protecting it; suggests care for aesthetics). на улицу выступали балконы, некоторые были отремонтированы (repaired, renovated, restored, fixed - indicates that something has been restored to working order or improved condition, often implying investment in maintenance), некоторые были в не очень хорошем состоянии.

Дом был довольно высокий, хотя в нём было всего пять этажей. первый этаж, самый высокий, занимали магазины.

Со стороны улицы Саши Савельевой был салон, где предлагалось заказать новые окна и двери. Потом располагалась парикмахерская (hair salon, barbershop, hairdressing salon, hair studio - a place where hair cutting and styling services are offered; suggests a focus on personal grooming and appearance), цветочный магазинчик, далее, судя по вывеске, был пивной бар. А на углу был парфюмерно-косметический (perfumery and cosmetic, beauty, fragrance, makeup - relates to products used for enhancing beauty, suggesting indulgence and self-care; often implies luxury or personal grooming) магазин “Прайм”.

Со стороны Петербургского шоссе продолжался магазин парфюмерии, в маленьком закутке (nook, alcove, corner, cubbyhole - refers to a small, often hidden space, which can imply a sense of coziness or privacy; can carry connotations of exclusivity), вплотную (closely, tightly, against, snugly - describes proximity, often indicating closeness, which can suggest a feeling of crowding or companionship) к парфюмерному магазину, были салон сотовой (mobile, cellular, wireless, phone - refers to communication devices, suggesting connectivity and modern convenience) связи сети “Мегафон”, продуктовый магазин сети “Магнит”, отделение (branch, office, division, unit - refers to a specific location providing services, often implying accessibility and organization; can also evoke a sense of bureaucracy) “Сбербанка” и аптека без названия.

Сергей зашел за угол.

Через переулок (alley, lane, backstreet, side street - a narrow road or path, typically less trafficked, often evoking a sense of exploration or discovery) начиналось маленькое одноэтажное здание.

Двор, как и было обещано в описании и на фото на сайте “Островок”, должен был быть вполне зелёным, но вероятно станет таким ближе к лету. Сейчас зелени было ещё мало, но она старалась расти изо всех сил.

Во дворе, вдоль дома, ближе к газону, было припарковано (parked, stationed, halted, stopped - the act of placing a vehicle in a designated area, suggesting order and organization in urban settings) несколько автомобилей. на самом дворе было несколько детских площадок, песочница (sandbox, play area, sandpit, play space - an area designated for children's play, emphasizing childhood and outdoor activity).
