About This Home

As of November 2017

Dream Green Home in upscale Brierwood Estates. Custom designed and built. 3 BDR, 3.1 Baths on over an acre. Very private. Hillside behind the home would be perfect location for a vineyard. New BBq and Jacuzzi. Never pay an electric bill again ( leased Solar Panels comes with a 20 year maintenance program). Home has a built in rain catching system that drains into a 1200 gallon holding tank to re-use all retained water for irrigation. All landscaping is drought resistance on a drip system. Stone and tile floors throughout for high performance heat and cooling. Stone pillars and fireplaces are built with French imported limestone. One of the few lots where horses are allowed. The neighboring lot could be purchased and built to suit. Ballard School Dist. See Virtual Tour under photos.
