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.
