Limelite Lists Historic Montlake Million Dollar Green Renovation

BELLEVUE, Wash. - July 31, 2013 - PRLog -- Limelite Development introduces the next generation of Craftsman, restored in 2013 and Certified 4 Star Built Green. Ideally perched on a fabulous street, this impressive home truly embodies the finest in Seattle living. This historic Montlake home was just listed on the market at $1,295,000.

This remodel is a beautiful example of a well-built home that meets the highest of environmental standards, is highly functional and marries classic design with modern features. By upgrading all of the windows to triple pane, the home gains natural light and greatly increases the overall energy efficiency. The energy efficiency was further increased by adding radiant floor heating and utilizing extra blown-in insulation. As a result, the open and flexible floor plan is warmer and more inviting while using less energy.

Studies show that every $1 decrease in energy costs results in a $15 to $25 increase in home values. Essentially, new energy-efficient upgrades that decrease utility bills by $1,000 per year can result in adding $15,000 to the value of your home. That’s a realistic number when considering that an energy-efficient furnace can save about $600 per year, according to the U.S. Department of Energy. Another study by the Department of Energy found that even a basic set of home performance improvements, like insulation, ducts and weatherization, can be expected to reduce energy bills by 20%. More extensive energy upgrades have been shown to cut power use in half!
