AKA, “The New Orleans Building”
This architecturally distinct 1907 building has 24 units overlooking a wonderfully landscaped gated courtyard. This is a one bedroom condo nestled up in the quiet back corner with views of the West Hills and courtyard front porch for relaxing and outdoor dining. Beautiful wood floors, period moldings, porcelain tile counters, stained glass and clawfoot tub give the sense of timeless, enduring integrity. The floorplan includes an entry area to separate the space and an open flow from living to dining and kitchen spaces. The bonus space has been used as an office, a nursery, or a large walk-in closet.
Between NW 23rd and NW 21st, this Nob Hill location has access to everything. With a walkscore of 98 out of 100, try to think of something you can’t get to within minutes! Contact David, if you’d like to schedule your tour of the Irving Classic Condo or learn more about the great energy efficiency upgrades that have been completed. It is so hard to find period finishes like these with modern day efficiency!

Cully Grove: Cohousing Goodness with an Urban Farm Twist
"Cully Grove will be a multi-generational group of individuals and families who enjoy sharing our lives with our community. We’re working to create an old-fashioned neighborhood in a new-fashioned way." -www.cullygrove.org
Fun + Farm (big gardens) + Spirited Community + High-Performance Homes = the new breed of urban cohousing. It’s Cully Grove.

SAGE: characterized by wisdom, prudence, and good judgment
Welcome to Sage Green Homes, the first Hybrid Zero-Net-Energy development in the nation!
phase 1 @ Sage Green, listed at $224,900 and 226,900
Located on Watershed Ln, just a stone’s throw from 149th & Farmington in Beaverton, the homes at Sage Green deliver a level of function, amenity and security beyond what most people in the world will ever experience. Sage Green demonstrates that zero-net energy is possible and accessible for mainstream builders and buyers in today’s new home construction industry. Because a Sage Green home produces as much energy as it needs, it’s effective insurance against future energy price inflation. A Sage Green home is a model for how we can meet growing housing and energy demands in ways that actually improve our collective circumstances. They have an informative site to explain some of the details of how they achieve this level of performance. I’d recommend taking a look. If you’d like to schedule a guided tour, contact me. I’ve toured these homes a couple times, and I must admit, this is a remarkable feat to offer homes of this performance and design at such a price. I’d love to show you around and share some of their cutting edge systems .
