Last week we broke ground on Home Site #24 @ Timberline Hills! I am so excited! This is going to be our Temporary Model Home & our 2011 HBA Tour Home!
This home is going to be our "Deerwood" (Plan #260)
This home will include 3080 sqft, a Master on the Main Level, Den/Bonus and spacious covered outdoor living area, with indoor/outdoor fireplace! You will love it! This home will be ready for our Tour in July and priced approximately $399,900
"What does all this EARTH ADVANTAGE stuff mean anyway"?
A lot of folks are wondering what "Earth Advantage Certified" means? They see the signs and hear people talk about offering it...but don't really understand it. Let me see if I can help!
Not all builders offer this to their new Home Owner's, but Stone Bridge Homes NW is proud to say they do! In general, what this means is our homes are at least 15% more Energy Efficient than homes just built to "Code". Now if you own an older home, this could even be a number of 25% more energy efficient or higher.
I have compiled a list of items we are including in our Stone Bridge Homes that are Earth Advantage Options, and together give us a rating of "Silver".
