A Look Inside
Step inside the Purple Heart Manor, and you're immediately greeted by an exquisite fusion of medieval-inspired elegance and modern functionality. You're captivated by the lime-washed wall paneling and the 11 operable triple-glazed windows, allowing natural light to illuminate the grandeur within. The rolling library ladder catches your eye, inviting you to explore the vast collection of books adorning the floor-to-ceiling shelves.
Further in, the kitchen displays an uncanny blend of retro and contemporary design. You can't overlook the 36” wide purple cast iron sink, a testament to the owners' love for all things purple. The custom stained Shou Sugi Ban cabinet doors complement the off-grid retro appliances, adding a touch of rustic charm.
Next, the bathroom beckons. It's a spa-like sanctuary with a 5' slipper tub and a rain shower. The Japanese toilet with a bidet and a moss wall offer a sense of tranquility, a perfect retreat after a long day.
Venture upstairs, and the bedroom welcomes you. The custom-made lift-up storage bed and stained glass bedside sconces exude an air of sophistication, while the loft provides additional space with a built-in desk and nightstand.
Lastly, you can't miss the Catio. This unique feature offers a safe outdoor space for pets, complete with an exterior-accessible maintenance door and floor drain.
In the Purple Heart Manor, every inch is a testament to thoughtfulness, creativity, and attention to detail. It's not just a tiny home on wheels, it's a lifestyle statement.
