November 9 Emergency System Test

Friday, November 4, 2011

by Liz Warren

On November 9th, next week, there will be a nationwide emergency test coordinated by multiple government agencies for a three minute period. We've all heard this on radio and TV when the announcement comes on and obnoxious white noise filters into the airwaves. This test will be for three minutes so spread the word. What's different? The length of the test and the number of agencies involved.

Stunning Alpenglade Home New to Market in Government Camp at Mt. Hood

Sunday, October 30, 2011

by Liz Warren

This is one of the nicest homes I've seen hit the market in Government Camp. There is so much to this well thought out home that there isn't enough room to cover it. Nearly brand new, this nearly 4,000 square foot Mt. Hood custom built home has four bedrooms, four and a half baths and is completely surrounded by greenway in the prestigious Alpenglade subdivision. There are two master bedrooms on the main level which have sliding glass doors out to a wooded setting on a huge covered deck complete with hot tub. Watch the snow fall while you're relaxing after a day on the slopes.

Alpenglade Custom Cedar Home Mt. Hood Ski Home for Sale

I love the great room which has massive vaulted cedar ceilings and a wall of windows bringing in natural light. A cozy fireplace, a breakfast bar surrounding the island of the kitchen, a huge covered deck off the living room-perfect for summer barbecues, makes this the perfect home for entertaining and large groups of friends and family after a day at the slopes of near by ski areas.

Kids can watch movies in the family room or hit ping pong balls in the game room tucked away downstairs. Lots of storage throughout the home for mountain play gear. A huge three car tandem garage with heated floors, a fan for ski tune ups and hot and cold water faucets.

It's energy tight with many features including ICF, Insulated Concrete Form construction on exterior walls. Vinyl double pane windows, extra foam insulation in the attic, and a boiler and heat exchange system. Radiant zonal heat is in the floors and the garage.

The kitchen is a dream. Open to the dining and living room area, there is a massive island with a huge breakfast bar and granite counter tops throughout the entire kitchen. Two ovens, two dishwashers, a wine bar, a wine frig and wet bar sink, tons of prep area, stainless steel appliances, gas stove and cherry cabinetry.

Take a tour of this fantastic Mt. Hood Alpenglade home!

La Nina Coming to Mt. Hood!

Tuesday, October 25, 2011

by Liz Warren

Now that the cooler weather of fall is upon us, the first frost is on it's way, and the leaves are coming down like crazy in my yard, it's obvious winter will soon be on it's way. Rumor has it we are in another La Nina year! What does that mean for locals in Government Camp, Welches, Brightwood and Rhododendron? Get the firewood in and the soup on the stove.

Here is a great run down of what La Nina means to locals and Portland folk who visit the mountain.
