What makes your home a Green or Healthy Home?

The EarthCraft House program encourages the design, development and construction of housing that protects the environment by conserving natural resources and reduces the built environment’s footprint.

By using less energy, you reduce the amount of pollution and greenhouse gasses that are created in the production of electricity and the fuels we burn.


Neighborhood Description

This home is located on historic Mount Vernon along the Little Hunting Creek where George Washington would hunt and fish. The street itself is not a through street so it is usually very quiet; the house backs to trees. There is a metro bus stop within half a mile.


Market Area

There is plenty of shopping only one and a half miles from this home. A major bus route that goes to the Huntington Metro is less than a half mile away.
