Located just off Salamo Road in West Linn and taking advantage of commanding views, the 11 new homes at Renaissance at Grandview have a clean and strong presence that transitions from outdoors to indoors seamlessly.
The green-built homes – beginning construction in winter 2014 – will take a nod from classic buildings in a prairie style – showcasing exposed, natural materials and free-flowing spaces. The lines are simple; the craftsmanship is exquisite.
The prairie inspired exteriors will be sleek, minimalist and sophisticated. Inside, expansive entertaining areas combine functionality and beauty. Understated material choices, earth colors and an abundance of glass welcome in West Linn’s beauty and provide for tranquil downtime.
Signature to prairie style, these new homes will have features expressed horizontally – such as bands of windows and masonry. The style – made popular by renowned architect Frank Lloyd Wright – is a nostalgic American trend, perfect for our homebuyers seeking a return to simplicity. Enjoy indigenous materials and the charm of yesteryear, but with all the amenities for today’s busy lifestyle.
The trend follows the philosophy that better homes create better people, and less is more. The homes will be showpieces, yet integrated with the landscape. Ornamentation is purposeful and the design is purely American.
Situated on a hilltop facing the Willamette River, the new homes take advantage of nature’s bounty – and West Linn’s active citizens.
West Linn’s bounty
Voted one of the “Best Places to Live” in 2011 by CNN/Money Magazine, West Linn’s breathtaking views of the Cascades and year-round community activities make it a beyond special place to call home.
You can have it all – a commanding view, top-rated schools within the West Linn-Wilsonville School District, easy access to parks, a top rated library, the Willamette River and a 25 minute commute to Portland.
Walk the Historic Willamette Business District and find cafes, quaint shops and coffee establishments. Enjoy a summer concert or the Old Time Fair. Pick fresh produce at the farmers’ market and show off your fancy footwork at the popular yearly Street Dance.
The beautiful terrain in West Linn is, in part, thanks to the Missoula Floods, which brought with it the famous Willamette Meteorite at the end of the last ice age. West Linn is also a Tree City USA Community, designated by the Arbor Day Foundation, the nation’s largest nonprofit organization dedicated to planting trees.
