Most Everything Is Upgraded and at the Beginning of its Life Cycle
This distinctive home is in a prime Tigard neighborhood with multiple parks, greenspaces and nearby schools. The house was designed and built by engineer James Chauncey in 1972 as his own residence. The sellers are the second owners of the house and have made extensive upgrades and improvements: everything from the mechanical systems to a new kitchen and bathrooms and landscaping. Their choices enhanced not only the livability of the house but also its energy requirements and efficiencies. Buyers will benefit in reduced energy demand and also from knowing that most systems are at the beginning of their life cycle.
The dramatic roofline gives an indication of the house's dynamic use of space in plan and in volume. An abundance of natural light is provided by skylignts and the many windows-especially the clerestorys at the peak of the vaults which bounce light off of the ceilings.
The public part of the house is organized under a high vaulted ceiling and uses a great-room approach with the kitchen, eating and living areas flowing into one another without walls. The various zones are given identity by changing ceiling heights, floor surfaces and built-ins. Above the living area is an open loft used as a study/work area. There is also a large family room on the upper level with french doors opening to a spacious south facing deck.
Two bedrooms and a guest bath are on the main level. The master bedroom with its own remodelled bath is on the upper level. The master has a vaulted ceiling, clerestory windows and generous closet space.
The oversize garage is approximately 20' X 25' and provides extra storage or a workshop in addition to car parking. Large storage areas are located under the eaves off of the family room and the master bedroom. The laundry area is off of the kitchen.
