Live in a gorgeous strawbale townhouse, the first strawbale multi-family building in the country, in the heart of Ashland. This new construction is a dream rental built with a goal of low carbon in both construction and on-going low energy needs and built for climate resilience. The rental includes state of the art custom construction using strawbale wall systems and natural plaster interiors. The interior provides breathable, healthy air with zero to very low-VOC products for the health of your family. The thick strawbale walls are highly insulative and keep the interior cool in the summer and warm in the winter. The heat-pump HVAC system creates the ultimate interior comfort zone with winter heating and summer cooling. This all-electric townhome includes an induction stove, dishwasher, and washer/dryer in each unit. One on-site parking per unit is available with free electric car charging provided by the owner with solar panels on the roof. This is a 4-townhouse multi-family building with a large common backyard for community-style living, with fruit trees, an herb garden for use by tenants, and raised vegetable beds to grow your own vegetables. The landscaping is habitat friendly with native plants, and provides that crucial connection to open space, in your own backyard. A 5000-gal rain collection tank provides water for the garden in the dry summer months and sufficient water for all tenants for emergency use. The unit includes a kitchen, living, a full bathroom and the laundry downstairs, with two bedrooms and a full bathroom on the second floor. The third-floor attic has a storage area and can be used as a small bedroom, a study or an art room. An openable roof skylight provides light and air. The back patio off the living area opens to a cozy sit-out for a small gathering. Both upstairs bedrooms open to a welcoming balcony area with enough space to enjoy a morning coffee or an evening cocktail with a prospect of the mountains to the north. The townhouse is located within walking distance to Ashland's Tuesday Farmers market, restaurants, a grocery store, the Schneider Art Museum, and the university. Ashland's downtown theater district, wineries, and other attractions are a short bicycle or car ride away. Owner pays for water and sewer, tenants pay for electricity, trash pickup and internet.
