Hey, we're on TV! A Smart, Luxurious Urban Infill home
This award winning custom California craftsman style home was meticulously planned to take advantage of its 6,000 square foot infill lot in a dense urban neighborhood. The prior 1950's bungalow that was previously onsite had reached the end of its useful life and had earthquake related foundation damage that could not be repaired, so the solution required removing the old house and replacing it with a more modern structure that has a host of sustainable features. The new home was triple the size of the old one, yet the utility bills were actually lower than before. Plus, more than 85% of the prior structure was either reused onsite or recycled.
This Luxury "California Craftsman" style home won several awards, was 3 Star "Built Green" Certified and was featured on the Seattle TV show "Hip Hoods". The property is located in a densely zoned neighborhood and was custom designed to include a 3 story main home with a fully finished basement, a detached 2 story multi-car garage with upstairs apartment and a fully landscaped yard with 7,000 gallons of underground rainwater storage. It was built with a myriad of sustainable materials and technologies, including a multiple zone, high efficiency computer controlled HVAC system.
