Old Town Villages' latest model showcases the spacious floorplans available in St. Augustine's newest condominium community. Kim Tharp of Kim Tharp Interiors designed The Estelle model and Old Town Village's first model, The Cordova. The Cordova, a two-bedroom, two-bath model, was designed as a "coastal

"The Estelle does have a bit more of a beachy feel to it because of the coral and the shells," Tharp said. "I really had Nantucket, Martha's Vineyard in the back of my mind more than anything."

Tharp opted for shades of white, sand and taupe, very reminiscent of the ocean's shore, with splashes of red hues in accents and furniture. Wicker bar stools, sling back chairs and clean, crisp linens are to be expected.

"I started with a red coffee table and went from there," she said. "Everything else was pretty neutral."

Situated on 76 beautiful acres, Old Town Villages consists of nine three-story buildings that blend seamlessly with the lush landscaping and natural surroundings.

This includes more than 36 acres of preserved hardwood wetlands. Homes are affordably priced from the mid-$100,000s.

Jessica Wilson, the sales manager for Lifestyles Realtors at Old Town Villages, said model homes are a crucial selling tool because people like to see what their new home might look like furnished.

Other than the Estelle and Cordova, spacious floorplans include the one-bedroom, one-bath Alcazar, the one-bedroom, one-bath Basilio and the two-bedroom, two-bath Desoto.

Old Town Villages is tailored to fit the most sophisticated and discerning home buyers, from young professionals to empty nesters seeking a relaxing, low-maintenance lifestyle.

Each residence at Old Town Villages is fully outfitted with a generous selection of luxurious standard features including crown molding, complete General Electric appliance package, beautiful wood kitchen cabinets, ceramic tile flooring in kitchens, foyers and baths, private screened patios and balconies, window coverings, ceiling fans, security systems and fireplaces in select units.

Community amenities include a luxurious community clubhouse, fully outfitted with a gourmet kitchen and a state-of-the-art business center featuring a conference room, a mini-theater and high-speed Internet connections.

Other appealing features include a resort-style pool, a spacious lounge area and sundeck, a picnic area with barbecue grills, a well-appointed fitness center, a one-mile confidence trail with exercise stations, an outdoor child activity center and pet-friendly green spaces.

Residents also can enjoy spending time on the tennis, basketball and volleyball courts or sinking a few golf balls on the putting and chipping greens.

Situated just east of Interstate 95 off Florida 16, this exclusive residential opportunity is just minutes away from two of North Florida's most popular retail outlet malls, challenging public and semi-private golf courses, and the cobblestone streets of historic downtown St. Augustine and the beautiful, sandy beaches of Northeast Florida.

Developed by C. Atkerson Inc., this community's quality constructed new condominium homes were built in accordance with the latest building codes and accentuated with charming neo-traditional touches. "These new condominiums are geared towards affordability and we take a great deal of pride in being able to put an outstanding product on the market that satisfies that need," said Charles Atkerson, president of C. Atkerson Inc.

Kim Tharp of Kim Tharp Interiors was responsible for outfitting the two-bedroom, two-bath, model. She calls the Cordova a "coastal retreat." Tharp opted for neutral colors, which matched the taupe walls and tan frise carpet. Accents included lamps, artwork, mirrors, candles, picture frames and greenery. "I like things to look collected ... instead of like someone went out and bought new furniture," Tharp said.

Tharp's project to transform the empty space began with two white armchairs and a floor-to-ceiling mirror that she had designated to go in the dining area, her biggest challenge of the project.

"To get a table that didn't look like a dinette set or cafe table, I wanted to have a formal dining room," she said.

Four chairs complement the round glass tabletop, while two casual place settings sit atop the bar, which overlooks the kitchen.

The living room features two stunning pieces of wall art made from tin, a brown sofa, two white armchairs, a table for a television and a round rattan coffee table/ottoman. Simple accents such as greenery, candles, magazines and a sea coral-accented lamp add a touch of coastal elegance to the room. One of the first things one might notice upon entering is one of two master suites. "I wanted to give this suite a touch of elegance," Tharp said. "The gold, satin duvet matches the headboard and the wall color."

There are punches of light blue in the pillows and the trim, along with two soft blue nightstand tables. A chest of drawers fills the corner while the matching ottoman to the living room chairs, serves as an extra sitting area or accent piece.

The second master suite, on the other side of the living room, exhibits more color - shades of light green and blue, in particular. It can be seen in the quilt, the artwork and the bathroom rugs and hand towels. An aged white dining room chair doubles as a night table next to the silver accented bed frame. A stack of books and even a pair of reading glasses looks familiar.

Tharp collects various pieces of furnishings and accents year round. In this particular model, she used a few pieces from her personal collection. But the majority of interior design pieces came from area stores such as Pottery Barn, American Signature Furniture, Center Stage, T. Gregory Imports, Rooms To Go, Bed, Bath & Beyond, Garden Ridge, Homegoods and Cottage by the Sea.

One of Tharp's favorite pieces in the model is a birdbath that she transformed into an end table in the living room by covering the top with a round piece of glass. Then there are parts of the model that aren't filled with furniture, accents or decor. "Not every square inch needs to be filled with something. Less is more to some degree," she said. Another of Tharp's signature decorating staples is a touch of plants here and there.
