The Ultimate Bachelor Pad

A client recently told me that the wanted a posh condo in a great location with an awesome view.  He said that view and location were more important than price.

Perfect. “I can work with this,” I told him. This client was looking for a bachelor pad – someplace with luxury and lots of amenities.

While i think he was exaggerating a bit because he does have a price range, it made me start thinking about what the ultimate bachelor pad would be if the price range were unlimited.

The luxury Arlington Condominium came to mind-  “Turnberry Tower”

This penthouse condo unit currently has the highest price tag of any condo in Northern Virginia, listed at $4,150,000

This building has amazing views and luxury amenities including valet parking.

New Wine Bar on South Glebe

Cafe Caturra - New Wine Bar

The much-anticipated Cafe Caturra is now open in the Arlington Ridge Shopping center on South Glebe.  The varied menu offers small plates (such as lump crab cakes, seared shrimp and caprese crostini), stone heart pizzas, cheese and charcuterie, sandwiches, salads, sliders and deserts.

The real attraction is the wine bar featuring 24 wines on tap. They did a nice job with the build out of what I think used to be a Blockbuster. The interior is contemporary and hip. They are also open for lunch

Founded by Jeff Grant, this is the first location in Virginia outside of the Richmond area.
