Property Description

We are selling our beautiful chemical-free home and want to give the MCS/EI community the first look before we market it locally. We built this home 15 years ago when I was extremely chemically sensitive as well as EMF sensitive.rnrnAs you can read in the description below we took all the measures we knew to make this a safe home for me. It has worked out beautifully and I have recovered almost completely. I believe in large part it is due to the environment I've enjoyed in this home.rnrnThis is a very gently used home and still looks like new. My husband and I are the ones who live here. It has been cleaned only with non-toxic products and has never been exposed to pets or smoking.rnrnOur home is located in historic Oregon City, End of the Oregon Trail. It is 2700 square feet with 3 bedrooms, 3 baths, plus den on a 10,000 square foot lot.
