Energy Efficient + ADU + Dog Shower

By Greg Washington, February 28, 2018

527 & 529 NE Monroe, Portland   Asking $850,000

This property is so Portland!  Not only do you get an energy efficient home with a detached ADU, you also get a mud room  with a dog shower!  Built in 2011, this Contemporary home has a Home Energy Score of 7 (the average score in Portland is 4.4), which means lower utility bills and greater comfort.  The feature that I like the most?  The in-floor heating system – warm feet all winter!  Besides its energy efficient features, this home was built with sustainable materials including cork flooring, bamboo cabinets & Caesarstone countertops. Other features include an open floor plan, high ceiling with abundant windows for light and temperature control, master suite with walk-in closet and bath, pantry/mud room with separate entry and that dog shower, bonus area and shop on main, office upstairs, native low water garden, cedar deck and so much more!  The ADU is 680 square feet and has one bedroom.
