An all-new 2011 NW Natural Street of Dreams represents new priorities for Northwest living. All five homes give you great ideas for how to Reclaim the Dream in this post-recession world, and find comfort in a home that’s got all the right priorities.

 

 

Sports fans, you’ll think you’re dreaming when you see a 92” big screen TV! Or ladies, how about an elegant oversized sculptured tub in  your master suite? You’ll see awesome new ideas everywhere you look on this year’s Street.

Imagine serving authentic pizza from your outdoor brick oven. Or bringing the outdoors inside, with huge planters filled with greenery. Dozens of ideas like these give the Street a fun, fresh appeal that’s totally livable.

  All five Street of Dreams builders took on this challenge: Create the best home you can on a budget that makes sense for today. Homes this year range from 3,360 to 5,130 square feet, and are priced $779,000 and up. Once you see them, you’ll believe those builders have performed magic.

What if you could use your Ipad to control every light in the house? Or make a TV disappear with the touch of a button? Or generate your own power while heating your home? Brilliant ideas abound in the 2011 NW Natural Street of Dreams.

Unless you’re in the building or real estate business, you probably don’t know that ADU stands for Accessory Dwelling Unit. Still confused? How about Mother-in-Law Apartment. Now you get the picture: An attached or detached, self-contained living space, commonly referred to in today’s industry as an ADU, is a feature of each 2011 NW Natural Street of Dreams home.

At 12,000 to 14,000 sq. ft., the 2011 Street lots are among the last of their size within the tri-county Metro Urban Growth Boundary. Metro rules require that such large lots meet minimum density standards for new construction. That’s why every home includes a separate-yet-inclusive extra living space. Each one fits the ADU definition, but your mother-in-law might be surprised at what she sees inside.
