FEATURED COMMUNITY

Accelerated Commercial Real Estate

The Taos By Accelerated Commercial Real Estate The Taos is a heavily treed, Sedona-styled condominium community featuring two-bedroom, two-bath homes. These 1,046-square-foot homes have been renovated with a number of expected features including granite countertops, newer cabinets, stainless steel appliances and fireplaces in select homes. The Taos features a gated entry and residents can often be found enjoying the heated pool and spa year-round, along with a clubhouse, workout room and barbecue areas in the quiet and peaceful setting. Because the community is gated, it is ideal for winter visitors who enjoy the benefits of “lock and leave”. Residents of The Taos enjoy living a short distance from the amenities of Scottsdale, North Phoenix and Paradise Valley. For example, the community is within walking distance to Paradise Valley Mall and numerous tourist attractions. The Taos is also near a number of restaurants, grocery stores, entertainment options and recreational parks as well as public transportation and several public and private golf courses. For as little as 5 percent down, buyers enjoy the benefits of ownership for what many would expect to pay for rent (certain restrictions apply).

The Cays at Downtown Ocotillo

Gorgeous gatherings Condos, townhomes often ideal for entertaining By Debra Gelbart

f you are looking forward to entertaining in your new home, you may wonder whether living in a condo or townhome could cramp your style. In reality, there are advantages to hosting a gathering in a condo or townhome that aren’t necessarily instantly obvious, experts in residential design say. Entertaining spaces galore “More and more luxury condos and townhomes are being designed with entertaining in mind,” said Taylor Robinson, the in-house designer for Two Biltmore Estates, a luxury condo community in Phoenix. “They’re also being designed with amenities and spaces that flow together, like a living room and dining room that seamlessly become one with the patio at the touch of a button that retracts a glass door,” he said. “This makes for elegant entertaining when drinks in the living room transition to dinner in the indoor/outdoor space.” “With our open kitchen and living and dining room concept, the entire living area is the perfect space for entertaining,” said Shantelle Monongye of the Statesman Group of Companies, which developed The Cays at Downtown Ocotillo in Chandler. “These plans open up your whole home and the kitchen layouts especially lend themselves to cooking, eating and drinking all while chatting with guests and family around the kitchen island,” she said. “Our first-floor outdoor patios lend themselves to an incredible indoor/outdoor experience with some patios fitting dining tables for six to eight people.” Meanwhile, Mountain Shadows Resort in the heart of Paradise Valley features 42 condos as part of a full-service resort. “Each of the condo types at Mountain Shadows is designed as an open plan that

directly ties the foyer, kitchen, dining and living rooms as a free-flowing space,” said Mark Philp, founding partner of Allen + Philp Architects, the firm behind the interiors of Mountain Shadows. Each condo’s open plan is “anchored by sliding

glass panels that flood the space with natural light, capture views and provide access to the patio or balcony, effectively extending and enhancing the entertaining space.” Flexibility is key “One of the simplest ways to transform an everyday living space is to create spaces in your home that are multifunctional,” Monongye said. “You can do this by placing flexible seating areas like benches, ottomans and extendable tables around the home that can accommodate eight to 10 people while they mingle and engage with one another.” High ceilings and good ventilation make a space feel airy and relaxing even if it is on the smaller side, said Vicki Anderson of Moderna Architects in Scottsdale.

Condos often first pick for first-time buyers

Multi-task your condo furnishings

Amenities, ease of maintenance are key By Susie Steckner

Resource Furniture

*Recalling the name of the originator, a Murphy bed folds out from a wall to function as a temporary bed. Contemporary designs also include cabinets and bookcases on the outer side when the bed is folded back.

ofas that morph into bunkbeds; wall beds that extend over sectionals and double as cabinets and bookshelves; a console table that extends out and upward as a work station: today’s multi-functionality means lifestyle comfort. Even the smallest space can double or triple its efficiency with furnishings that flex. This concept starts with the architect/designer and the builder and continues through to the interior designer. Innovative furniture “New condos will typically display an open floor concept allowing for the use of innovative multifunctional furniture. By combining these components, the open yet smaller floor plans keep living spaces functional and versatile,” said John Kostaras, division president/general manager for Landmark Homes USA.

“

“New condos will typically display an open floor concept allowing for the use of innovative multifunctional furniture.” —John Kostaras, Landmark Homes USA As land and real estate prices rise in a strong economy, affordability is key for students as well as empty-nester adults. “Multipurpose furniture allows for living spaces to be transformed from student quarters to social, entertainment and day-to-day living quarters,” Kostaras said. Smart design “With so many baby boomers downsizing and millennials preferring urban living, designing for

small spaces has become very important in the design industry,” said Susan Hersker, ASID, owner and principal designer at Design Directives LLC in Scottsdale. Hersker recently completed the interior design for an 800-square-foot corporate condo in a San Francisco high-rise overlooking the Bay Bridge to Oakland. “I had height and space limitations and had to be mindful of the scale of the furniture I specified. I found a very comfy sofa bed from Kravet for the main room and I designed the dining table and had it custom made to suit the space. I have also specified Murphy* beds in home office spaces that might also need to function as a guest room,” she said. Space savers In particular, Hersker recommends resourcefurniture. com. “They have a wide range of space-saving products, so you can add an entire room without adding squarefeet,” she said. Kohler also offers vanities with storage opportunities built into the space under the sink — space that is often wasted, she added. Another Scottsdale interior designer also makes condo spaces flexible. “The desk we use for our transitional office desk is adjustable,” said Sherry Dole, vice president of Lavish Interiors Staging Furniture. “This allows the desk to double as a dining table or can be adjusted to become a counter-height table for other entertaining opportunities or even as a standing work surface.”

Walkability important The former Seattle residents rank walkability high on the list of preferred features and Coronado Commons’ location in Central Phoenix fit the bill. “It’s great to be able to walk to nearby restaurants and explore the neighborhood,” Alaskar said. “Plus, we’re both close to work which means less time commuting comes out of our schedules.” Location and amenities “The first-time homebuyer is almost always looking for location and amenities,” said Jack Luciano, a partner with The Agency, which represents Edison Midtown, Inspire Condos and other condominium properties. “They want to be close to work, places they eat, shop and frequent.” At urban Edison Midtown, for instance, residents are just a

Edison Midtown - The Agency

walk, bike ride or light rail trip away from restaurants and local shops. The Inspire property is situated in Downtown Scottsdale, with trendy restaurants and night clubs, high-end shopping and cultural experiences all easily within reach. Low-maintenance lifestyle First-time buyers typically also want a low-maintenance lifestyle. Condo residents would rather fill up their weekends taking light rail to the newest museum exhibit, lounging poolside with friends or wandering to the nearby farmer’s market. For Graham and Alaskar, that low-maintenance lifestyle is key. “We love to travel and enjoyed the freedom of renting, so we wanted a house that would fit into that lifestyle and not hold us to a big commitment in terms of time and resources to maintain,” Graham said. “Coronado Commons gave us that flexibility.”

henAnnie Graham and Shetha Alaskar went house-hunting, the couple considered a traditional single-family home but they were won over by condo living. “We were sick of apartment living and we have a dog, for whom we wanted a yard,” Graham said. “When we saw Coronado Commons, it had all the benefits of a house, and the low-maintenance costs and lock-and-leave potential were really important to us.”

Condos ride the wave of energy efficiency The environment, green initiatives become more important to buyers By Rhona Melsky

reen is the new norm as more condo developers include energyefficient features that begin in the planning stages. Some examples include SOHO Scottsdale in North Scottsdale, a live/work community that has International Green Construction Code, or IgCC, certification, “which means it is sustainable and the units must be constructed based on the City of Scottsdale’s specifications under the IgCC program, so it will be certified green,” said Irene Clary, principal at Catclar Investments LLC, a development company in Scottsdale. Clary’s team works closely with the City of Scottsdale Green Building Program office to ensure everything is energy-efficient and falls within green certification. On completion, SOHO will include 64 townhomes, 10 lofts and 8,000 square-feet of retail space. As townhome units are being sold, “the main theme with our buyers thus far is that they are looking for green certification,” Clary said. Buyers want solar panels and electric car-chargers in the garage. (Solar panels are installed on the loft building only; the townhomes did not have sufficient space to install solar panels). SOHO also offers Low E windows, insulation noise attenuation between walls as well as sustainable lumber products. Green standards When a condo is built to green certified standards, there’s a lot that goes into making that happen. The International Energy Conservation Code, or IECC, is a model energy code adopted by most states and local jurisdictions that requires a minimum level of energy efficiency. Scottsdale recently adopted the latest edition of the IECC. Anthony Floyd is the green building

program manager and energy code specialist at the City of Scottsdale, Office of Environmental Initiatives; he has been working on the SOHO project. “Every three years, model codes are updated so we try to stay up to date with health, safety and public welfare standards,” Floyd said. In addition, Scottsdale adopted the International Green Construction Code (IgCC). “The IgCC goes beyond energy by including renewable energy, water, resource efficient materials, indoor environmental quality, daylighting and the emission of chemicals and gases from paints and carpet, which all can affect health over time.”

Hybrid condos Edgemont 12 is a 12-unit hybrid condo complex in Phoenix where the units are detached from one another. The three-floor units range from 1,788 square-feet to 2,200 square-feet. “When it comes to energy efficiency, Edgemont 12 features 2X6 construction that is foam-insulated throughout which helps keep the heat out and is an added barrier making the homes highly efficient,” said Tiffany Carlson-Richison, associate broker at Realty Executives in Gilbert. Edgemont 12 features two air conditioning units, which also helps with energy savings. If the A/C is not being used upstairs, an

The program began with a visioning process and received input from the community to seek sustainability as one of the six guiding principles. “At that time we were preparing for the 2001 general plan and sustainability was part of it,” Floyd said. “I think what we are doing today will be standard tomorrow,” he noted. “It won’t be a big deal anymore. It all will be a way of doing business in the future.” —Rhona Melsky

owner can turn it off or down so as not to cool the entire condo. At Edgemont 12, the condos are made with synthetic stucco, making it easier to maintain. “You don’t have to paint the exterior very often, so it should last longer,” Carlson-Richison said. The units feature dual-pane windows to help keep out heat and cold, which also helps to lower electric bills.

could fit a long dining table “for a beautiful dinner on a patio, then bring guests back inside to the living room for coffee, dessert and conversation,” Anderson [of Moderna Architects] said. “A well-designed kitchen with chef amenities and warming drawers also makes entertaining in a small space easier.” Amenity-rich communities For a gathering of more than 10 or so, a condo or townhome community’s common areas could be the ideal gathering space. “Condo living is perfect for entertaining, especially when having a gathering of people that exceeds your home’s capacity,” Monongye said. “You can turn to all the amazing amenity and entertaining spaces the community has to offer.” Some homeowners actually choose to buy a property that has a well-appointed clubhouse because they prefer not to cook for a crowd in their home, Robinson [of Two Biltmore Estates] said, “therefore eliminating much of the stressful preparation and cleanup that comes with entertaining.” Being part of a larger resort property such as Mountain Shadows “also adds unlimited catering options and the possibility of additional gathering spaces for larger party events, weddings and the like,” Philp said.

Getting your home ready to sell Declutter, downsize and get ready to buy your maintenance-free condo By Rhona Melsky

Mountain Shadows

Easy entertaining options Maintaining a space that is elegant and clutter-free always makes entertaining easy when guests arrive, Robinson said. Wiring a space for sound is a design trick to facilitate elegant entertaining, he added. “These ‘smart’ homes can play music in one or more rooms, which leads guests between one space and another.” And having a wine refrigerator or chiller “means your favorite beverages will always be perfectly chilled when guests arrive. It helps to design a space that’s conducive to serving beverages, as people will always congregate wherever a bar is,” Robinson said. Selecting furniture that can be easily moved or reconfigured to accommodate more people for larger gatherings makes entertaining easier in condos and townhomes, Anderson said. “When the space is primed for entertaining, hosting gatherings is seamless, fun and less like a chore,” said Mike March of Moderna Architects. “Condos and townhomes are ideal for entertaining because, like most everything with condo and townhome living, it is low-maintenance by default. Parties can be formal or informal, but any time you are hosting gatherings for a finite number of guests, more attention can be paid to the details of a gathering and to the guests themselves. In an intimate environment, even an informal gathering can feel like an elegant celebration.”

f you plan to downsize to a condo for more maintenance-free living, first you need to get your current home in ship-shape selling shape. That means getting rid of unnecessary items, taking care of minor upgrades or repairs, and even possibly/probably doing some painting and retouching. But what’s most important? No. 1 is curb appeal “It’s everything,” said Kyle Caldwell, a Realtor with Launch Real Estate and a member of the Sandra Baldwin Team. “People will get a gut feeling before they walk in the front door — so make the feeling positive.” How? Simple things like filling flower beds, trimming trees and straightening up any pavered walkways — you need to make the front of the house immediately appealing.

Phil Johnson, BaldwinTeam.com

“

However, before getting ready to sell, homeowners should take care of deferred maintenance such as painting or touchups, fixing cracks in stucco or other light repairs. If using a contractor, be sure to hire a professional, Caldwell said.

A little .x goes a long way “There are a few things to put money into that a homeowner can get back including paint and carpet,” Callaway said. However, remodeling a kitchen or bath typically will not bring more money than the added cost of improvements.

Set yourself up for success “We always advise the seller to set themselves up for success with a presale inspection to take care of any items beforehand that can cause conflict later,” Caldwell said. In addition, homeowners should be honest with themselves when pricing their home. “If your house needs updating, you need to price your house appropriately,” he added. Also: ensure the home is light, bright and smells good. Keep windows open, lights on and activate the positive senses. “Finally, don’t ever turn down showings,” Caldwell said. “Someone you turn away could have been your buyer.”

“Fix the little things that catch the eye.”

—Joseph Callaway, Those Callaways

Stage and pack “Staging a house is looking at a house with buyers’ eyes,” Callaway said. Take into consideration what they see within the first five feet; the kitchen is next, then the master bedroom and bath, then the backyard. “Most agents will advise a seller on what we call prepacking,” Callaway said. “You’re going to move anyway, so pack a lot of things.”

Those Callaways

Next is decluttering “Remove things that will distract people including family photos and artwork,” Caldwell said. “Simplify the house and make it so they can absorb the ambience of the rooms.” Homeowners can begin the decluttering process by creating separate piles to donate, consign or throw away. “Don’t take things [with you to your new home] that you might use one day; take things you will need and use,” Caldwell said. Paint the door, wash the windows “It [a freshly painted front door] is the first thing prospective buyers see before entering the home,” said Joseph Callaway, co-owner of Those Callaways. He also advises washing the windows. “People equate cleanliness with how well a home is cared for,” he said. “If a house is dirty, they see all the hidden defects.”
