Way back when, I had a friend who referred to his sleek, modern apartment as his “sexy dojo.” He was very much into creating a space that made him feel happy and alive — a spot where he wouldn’t think twice about inviting a lady friend back to for a nightcap.
Some people need a spot where they can both relax and entertain, and this stunner of a townhome is just the spot. Not only that, it’s polished enough for business, too. With fabulous finish-out and dramatic ceilings, this condo is begging for a single guy or girl who wants the good things. No wonder it’s our High Caliber Home of the Week, sponsored by Lisa Peters of Caliber Home Loans. This contemporary unit just hit the market today, and if you think this could be the “sexy dojo” you’ve been dreaming of, call Lisa Peters today to get pre-approved and ready to put in your offer.

I know, right? Imagine all the dates you’d get with this pad! It kind of reminds me of Ryan Gosling’s place from “Crazy, Stupid, Love,” with its two-story bay of windows, contemporary furniture, clean lines and gray walls. Of course, that spiral staircase was meant for all the dramatic entrances you’re going to make.
“This urban palazzo, like a Tom Ford stiletto, makes a sleek contemporary statement,” says David Griffin Realtor Sam Saladino.
“I remember seeing it first on an agent tour soon after starting in real estate,” Saladino recalled. “I had long wondered what was behind that interesting, discreet façade. A little Palm Springs, a little Paul Rudolph, with a bit of Hollywood Regency for spice. The terrazzo paved atrium, sinuous copper staircase and sunken koi pond! Divinely decadent!”
Saladino sure does have a way with words! He’s marketing Unit 5E at 3730 Holland Ave. for $524,000, and from his telling, we are already in love. This unit is one of eight in this Harvey Richie-designed condo complex built in 1973. The building is uber sleek, and comes complete with a terrazzo entrance atrium with a Koi pond. HOA fees are $700 a month and include blanket insurance, maintenance, gas, reserves, trash, water, and sewer.
