Back-to-Back, Straight Thru

This unassuming and tucked-away condo at the Wildman Arms is a hidden gem and a rare find. From the time you open the front door and walk into the new Office space with its custom built-in desk, bookcases, and large draped barn doors—the colors, materials, and related chosen design elements speak to the attention to detail and quality considered throughout the design process of this COMPLETELY RENOVATED unit. In addition to the new office space, this LARGE 1-Bedroom unit includes one of the highly sought-after Sunrooms at the Wildman Arms, where the designer wanted to restore some of the old unit elements for history while carefully integrating the new elements into the design. In the Sunroom, this was achieved through creating an accent wall by removing layers of paint to re-expose and seal the original brick, and the wall is framed through the installation of custom blinds from Blinds-to-Go that are LIFETIME WARRANTIED and are consistent throughout the unit. Another example of the conscious attention to the details of the design and the chosen elements that help to create the unique unit's warm and cozy feel—recently described by the owner’s father who was visiting as a “rejuvenating retreat” from the hustle and bustle of life. The renovation process included bringing in a structural engineer where concrete walls were removed to open up the space for a truly unobstructed open concept Kitchen, Dining, and Living Room area design. The kitchen includes high-end stainless-steel appliances (gas range, dishwasher, garbage disposal system, and large French Door, filtered water/ice-making refrigerator), custom cabinetry, a large island, and quartz countertops throughout. The living room includes a rebuilt upgraded fireplace with a marble surround and a new functioning electric fireplace insert with a custom-built hinged wall above the mantel—built with the mounting of your flat-screen television (or large mirror) in mind with hidden shelving behind. Mindfully connecting all of the zones/spaces in the unit, you will find that the designer for the renovation used the same tile for the hearth in the fireplace rebuild for the sunroom as well as the bathroom, where the same barn doors for the office walk you into this spa-renovated bathroom with a waterfall shower head, custom glass shower enclosure, and a fog/steam resistant vanity mirror. Beautiful new solid 1-inch hardwood floors run throughout, as do custom-built radiator covers. Lastly, there is plenty of storage space with a large walk-in closet located next to the office, a closet by the bathroom, and in addition to the custom desk and built-in shelving in the office area that California Closet was commissioned to do, they also installed a large custom built-in closet space in the bedroom that includes soft-touch closing drawers. Wildman Arms offers off-street parking, a Swimming Pool, Exercise Room, and a Meeting Room for no additional fee! There is a Laundry Room in each building and a Garden Plot is yours if you'd like! Extra storage space is available for a small fee and often a Garage Space is available for rent.
