FULLY RENOVATED!!!
We purchased this property on April 30th, 2018, and planned several stages of renovation.
Phase 1 renovation - COMPLETED MAY 24, 2018. Upgraded TVs in all rooms 42" & 49" flat screens. Smart TV in the living room and 1 bedroom. Added side by side stainless steel refrigerator with ice maker, converted coat closet to the pantry, upgraded owners closet. Ordered materials for phase 2 renovations.
Phase 2 renovation COMPLETED JULY 3, 2018. Expand kitchen, replace countertops with granite, new cabinet faces, tile kitchen, tongue, and groove knotty pine accent walls. Added 2 king-sized beds.
Phase 3 upgrade COMPLETED AUGUST 30th, 2018. BRAND new appliances (stove, dishwasher, microwave), added beautiful tongue and groove knotty pine to the guest bedroom. Painted entirely. Replaced doors in the kitchen. Replaced all electrical outlets. Added wifi controlled locks.
Phase 4 upgrade COMPLETED MAY 3rd, 2019. Decided to add noise abatement to the ceilings of bedrooms. The resort has an 11 PM quiet time requirement but the noise from your neighbors is one of the shortcomings to Condos and townhouses. This reduced noise by about 50% in bedrooms.
Phase 5 - Modifications to reach ADA compliance.
Phase 5.a COMPLETED NOV 30, 2019. New carpet. The condo now looks like new. I was planning on waiting until the full phase 5 changes to move the condo toward ADA compliance before replacing the carpet (which was adequate but needing replacement) but ended up doing it earlier. I'd classify the property as ADA friendly.
Phase 5.b COMPLETED FEB 13, 2020. Removed Master bedroom closet. Added solid would 36" doors to master bedroom entrance and master bathroom. Expanded master bathroom 12". Rerouted HVAC and electricity to remove the drop ceiling section in this area.
Phase 5.c COMPLETED AUG 2020. Major Remodel of Master Bathroom to improve ADA accessibility. Enlarged bathroom, put in 36" doors, Change tub to walk in, tiled floor add glass doors. Added water-conserving toilet. Tiled walls and floor, put sink on live edge silver maple.
Phase 6 COMPLETED MARCH 2021. Change the water heater to a tankless system. While expensive this will save significant money over the next 20 years. As well as assure a continuous supply of hot water.
Phase 7 COMPLETED APRIL 2022. Major Remodel of guest/general Bathroom . Removed old plastic shell tub and replaced with steel tub. Tiled walls and floor, put sink on live edge silver maple.
Phase 8 COMPLETED May 2022. Replaced HVAC system with new 14 SEER, 2 Ton, heat pump .
Phase 9 COMPLETED Feb 2023. Unfortunately, we had a December 2022 flooding event caused by freezing pipes in the unit above. The flooding did extensive damage to the kitchen and damage to the master bathroom. I took this opportunity to remove the drop ceiling in the kitchen, add much more freeze-resistant PEX plumbing to the kitchen and master bathrooms feeding the unit above, upgrade lights, and upgrade the ceiling. .
