Home, Sweet Home

The historic honor of receiving the very first new home occupancy permit for Green Grove Cohousing Community goes to John, Bonnie & their son, JB! It took a lot of patience and persistence, but their home is beautiful, functional and environmentally friendly. It features an open concept plan with a great room for living, dining, and kitchen, two bedrooms, an office, one and a half baths, and a large cedar porch ideal for jam sessions and entertaining. The vaulted ceilings, with dormer windows, give the 1295 sq. feet home a light and spacious feel. Bamboo hardwood floors, staggered studs with polar blanket insulation, alder cabinets, an upgraded heat pump, Milgard windows, and solar-readiness are some of the sustainability- oriented features. The master bathroom has tile floors and a walk-in shower with a river rock base. Pull-down attic stairs and an unconditioned crawl space work area add function and storage to the single-story home designed for livability, accessibility, affordability. Linda and Brad’s new home is scheduled for completion in September, while the third home should be finished in November. Then just six more homes to go! We believe that all of us will find the rewards of living in community at Green Grove worth the wait!
