Come home to an eco-friendly cottage situated in the desirable Houghton neighborhood. Featured on the NW Green Home Tour in 2013, this home was inspired by its owner’s “green dreams” and elevates sustainable living to new heights. Thoughtfully planned and brought to life, the 1950s home was upgraded using sustainable and recycled materials where possible. Its many features include a metal roof, solar panels, radiant floor heating in the master and master bath, programmable thermostats to reduce energy consumption, efficient lighting, double-pane windows, a Takagi tankless water heater, a gas furnace/fireplace to provide heat in power outages and so much more.
The open and unique floor plan offers a multi-use space to adapt to your needs and abundant height with elevated ceilings in the kitchen and a loft that calls for an afternoon spent with a favorite novel. The tranquil master suite features an ensuite complete with an open shower, deep-set tub and easy access to the yard. Embark on a culinary adventure in an ideal environment, from the Marmolueum floors and recycled paper countertops to the up-cycled cabinet knobs and re-purposed shelving.
The outdoor area is a true Pacific Northwest paradise, with a small deck for entertaining, pathways for afternoon strolls, and gardens complete with a trellis and lush drought-resistant plantings. Live in a home that is built to last and creates its own lifestyle, ready for the next caretaker to embark on a wonderful environmentally conscious journey.
