Coming home to Meyer Place at Ferndale is like putting on your favorite cashmere sweater: It’s luxurious, comfortable and utterly stylish. After all, the luxe 22-unit rental residential community is at the heart of the Wayzata lake lifestyle. Situated in the Ferndale enclave, the development is far enough off the beaten path to enjoy peace and quiet off the Dakota Trail yet close enough to take a picturesque stroll through the shops, galleries, restaurants and glorious lakefront spots of downtown Wayzata.
Speaking of quiet, the developer behind Meyer Place at Ferndale even hired a sound engineer to hone the construction techniques and mitigate noise upfront. “We managed noise at every juncture we could,” explains developer Nancy Schoenwetter. Case in point: Patio doors offer a tighter close than sliding doors, so the builder installed the former rather than the latter leading out to all private decks. (By the way, gas grills are allowed on those decks, which offer total seclusion.) The building is also the first in the state to be outfitted with Marvin Windows’ hurricane glass, not because of weather concerns but because the ultra strength windows minimize noise better than any other.
