Floor Plans: Livable Density in the Pacific Northwest
Trails and Rails, Porches and Courtyards: Amidst the tall evergreens 18 miles from downtown Portland, Ore., Legend Homes has created an award winning community ― Stonewater at Orenco — of two-story townhomes and one- and two-story condominiums, all with garages. This 131-unit townhome community combines the attraction of a natural preserve with the convenience of an adjacent light-rail station. To increase the sense of neighborhood, a New Urbanist approach was used in designing the units, including courtyards and front porches with space to sit and chat. The townhomes, constructed as individual fee-simple buildings, mostly are clustered in groups of four.  | | Style and color define each unit as part of the New Urbanist approach to Stonewater at Orenco. |
To emphasize individuality, each unit is defined by architectural style and color, encompassing nine plans and two elevations for each plan. The 33-acre site embraces a protected wetland area as central green space. Convenient to downtown, the Portland International Airport, shopping and nearby golf, homes in the community sell in the $170s to the low $300s. Vaulted Ceilings, a Two-Car Garage and a First-Floor Master: At 2,029-2,042 square feet, the Sequoia featured here packs a lot of want into its footprint. The first floor features a vaulted living room, separate dining room, eat-in kitchen and a master suite with coffered ceilings. Two bedrooms, a loft and bonus room are upstairs.  | | Granite countertops and slate backlashes add elegance to the kitchen. |
Elegance and Energy Efficiency: The Sequoia features such elegant touches as granite tile countertops with a full slate backsplash, hardwood floors, a granite fireplace and rounded corners on walls and windows. The homes includes energy-efficient features such as R-38 ceiling insulation, R-21 wall insulation, R-25 floor insulation, insulated exterior doors — including the garage door, heavy-duty vinyl windows with low-E glazing and insulated glass, 2 x 6 exterior wall construction and sound reduction systems in common walls.  | [Click for larger image] |
