Westlake Development Group
amazes again with the rst “Made
in America” home ever to be showcased in a NW Natural Street of
Dreams venue! This luxury home boasts American made compo-
nents from every nut and bolt to its custom nishes and high-end
appliances. A true showcase home, it exempli es how the Ameri-
can Dream can be attained while creating and sustaining
jobs in the U.S. and bolstering the economy. This is truly an
“Oregon” home, with the work of local artisans prominently
displayed throughout the house. From the handcrafted mo-
saic tile in the master bathroom to the custom bronze doorstops
crafted right here in Portland by local teens from the SkillsUSA
team at the Sabin-Schellenberg Center, extra attention
went into selecting and working with the artists themselves
to nalize each and every detail seen throughout.
From the moment you walk in the welcoming front doors,
natural light lters through the oversized windows of the two-story
foyer, brightening the open-concept living area featured through-
out the home. Step through seamless, feather light, oor to ceiling
glass doors that rede ne traditional indoor and outdoor boundaries
by opening the generous living room to the outdoor living space.
Here, one can view the exquisite landscaping while lounging by the
in ground pool or gather with family and friends by the outdoor re-
place while dinner cooks on the custom outdoor BBQ. Upstairs, the
spacious recreation room features local, reclaimed barnwood from
old growth Douglas Firs and brick accents for a unique combi-
nation that gives o the warmth of an old Irish pub.
But the beauty doesn’t stop with the aesthetics! Healthy
living is supported through the use of innovative products
designed to eliminate allergens and volatile organic com-
pounds. This home also boasts the latest technology in en-
ergy and water e ciency, thereby reducing not only the
pollutants inside but also the ones created by the home it-
self that would otherwise be released back into our environ-
ment.
The American Dream
exempli es responsible building
from start to nish, boasting one of the lowest carbon footprints ever
built in a NW Natural Street of Dreams home. Pride in ownership is
taken to a whole new level with the knowledge that this owner made
a di erence.
