16007 Rustic Lane

This Round Rock cutie has great curb appeal and sidewalks galore. You can easily walk to Exemplary-rated Great Oaks Elementary School and the neighborhood park & community center. Besides a good location, the 2,360 square foot property welcomes you with a solid wood front door and rich wood flooring. A gourmet island kitchen with brick accents, high ceilings, skylights, an open family room, walk-in closets, and a covered patio make this house a fabulous home!

Green features include: cellular shades (they look like honeycombs, and are one of the most insulating shades around), double-paned Anderson windows, solar screens, a tankless water heater, 14 SEER HVAC (very high efficiency), and absolutely no carpet.

Having floors that are easy to keep clean can improve indoor air quality. Be sure to use natural products for cleaning! If you choose to make this 4/2 your home, I recommend upgrading some of the counters to solid surface counters. Particle board found in laminate countertops can off-gas formaldehyde. There are some nice eco-friendly counter options at Lowe's made of 75% recycled materials, and they look really sharp!

3900 Sapphire Loop

This classy newer home is situated on a greenbelt and you will want to spend time relaxing on your back porch and taking in the native scenery. And I won't fail to mention the award winning Round Rock schools!

Some great features of this 2,500 square foot home include: a solid wood front door, solid surface counters, a double oven and large cook top, a jacuzzi tub in the master bath along with a frameless shower door. Beautiful wood floors, plantation shutters, and ceiling fans are other added beauties in this three bedroom, two bathroom home. Grand Haven Homes, the builder, uses energy star appliances, high efficiency HVAC and has taken green living into account when planning and building the homes. As new homes are still being built in the community, you can inquire with the builder about what specific products were used in your home.

My favorite room in this $290,000 home is the kitchen. Solid granite counters, and pull out shelving in the cabinets, makes this a kitchen built with the cook in mind! The antique-finished cabinetry lends a comforting feel to the space.

8332 Liberty Walk

This 2,015 square foot home has some great features that help improve indoor air quality, a great advantage for people who have chemical sensitivities or severe breathing problems.

– Wood and Tile Flooring: Release fewer chemicals through off-gassing, and are much easier to keep clean, than carpet.
– Ceiling fans: Keep cool and keep your windows open longer during the year, letting in that fresh outdoor air.
– Solar screens: Screens allow you to keep your windows open longer during the year by keeping out mosquitos and other bugs; solar screens also cut down on the heat entering your home.
– Solid surface counters: Solid material is not only easier to clean and has a longer life span than laminate counters, it also removes a lot of particle board from your home which can off-gas glues and formaldehyde.
– Home Orientation: The south-facing orientation of this home captures that great breeze coming from the south/southeast. Open up those windows and let the breeze flow in!

One last thing to check for is the cabinets - solid wood cabinets are ideal. Be sure to also check inside because the interior shelving is often made of particle board. You could paint them with low-VOC paint to keep any off-gassing chemicals sealed up inside.

This three bedroom, two bathroom home is located in a walkable paradise! There is a park across the street, great sidewalks, an easy stroll to the grocery store and many hike and bike trails throughout the area. Exceptional Round Rock ISD.

The garage is attached to the home for convenience, so a buyer who is concerned about indoor air quality should take care not to put any harmful chemicals in the garage. Make sure you purchase some alternatives, or set up a small shed in the yard to store them away from the home.

1702 S 3rd Street- SOLD

Don't let the unassuming front of this three bedroom, two and a half bath home fool you! This 5-Star green gem is full of hidden magic and fabulous surprises around every bend. You can tell that this 2416 square foot home was custom built with green in mind every step of the way. It's super green, it's got lots of custom features, and it's also a great place to showcase your art. I could give you all the technical green details, but suffice to say that if you wonder if this home has it, it probably does. A 6 KW Solar Panel system, great orientation, low VOC paints, no carpeting, and all native landscaping will give you the most basic details. While the green might interest you, the hidden courtyard and inviting screened porch will make you kick your feet up and settle in.

Walk to Bouldin Creek Coffee House, Torchy's Tacos, Polvo's, Soup Peddler, schools, parks, and a public library branch, as well as all the pizazz on S. Congress. Once you get over the green, the great outdoor features and cool location, go on inside and be impressed with the sleek modern finishes – chef's kitchen, built in cabinetry, and lots of bells and whistles. Congrats to the team that came together to build this $725,000 beauty. It is a real treat!

3 Star Green Rated- Featured on the 2002-2003 National Green Builder Tour. Classic craftsman detailing with all the modern finishes! Cute cottage on the outside, spacious layout on the inside. This adorable place is so close to town and walking distance to one famous eclectic Austin icon – The Whip-In.

I highly recommend their pulled pork sandwich with mango chutney.

This home is nestled in a quiet enclave craftsman community in popular 78704. High ceilings, wood floors, wide moldings, built-in wine rack and cabinetry, and multiple skylights make for a great living space. Compact yard with good privacy. The carport is a great green feature which keeps car exhaust and fumes from other off-gassing chemicals out of the home.
