Your practical side will love the many intelligent choices that maximize the homes utility, while appreciating the many green choices. Electrical and plumbing systems are new. Insulation was placed in the walls, floors and attic. In 2007 the roof and furnace (high efficiency) were replaced. Green materials were used wherever possible: Neil Kelley cherry cabinets in the kitchen (no chemicals or additives used), wool carpeting (no off-gassing or chemical treatments). And of course, the home has all the benefits of the Bryant neighborhood, including the annual block party with friendly neighbors. Leave the car in the garage and walk to the Metropolitan Market, Burke-Gilman trail, Bryant Elementary and even Childrens Hospital and University Village.
