In 2006, the infill lot at 353 W Reed Avenue in the Marmalade neighborhood became home to this urban, 2,400 sf green built home. It’s open and bright, and features 3 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, a mother-in-law apartment to help offset the mortgage payments, plus it’s been tested by the Utah Energy Conservation Coalition and was found to be 50% off the grid, which translates into huge energy saving.
Some of the green aspects of the home include:
• Rainwater harvesting system for the garden and landscaping.
• Pavers that alleviate demand on storm water drainage system.
• Energy Star rated asphalt shingles, which are white to reduce heat absorption.
• Insulated Concrete Form block construction.
• Clustered plumbing.
• Cross lighting, using window placement and skylights for maximum natural light.
• Passive solar window placement.
• Cross ventilation.
• VOC paints and sealants
• Use of natural products like pine and slate.
• Double pane Low-E windows
• Energy Star appliances
• Radiant floor heat.
• Xeriscaped yard.
All this in an urban, walkable neighborhood less than 1 mile from downtown and just a short distance from hiking trails, parks, shopping, TRAX and commuter rail, and close to the 600 N entrance to I-15. Asking $297,000.
