With the world in an unprecedented climate crisis, many of us wonder what we can do as individuals to reduce our carbon footprint. A significant step can start right at home.
In Arlington, residential buildings account for 23% of the country’s greenhouse gas emissions. One way to reduce this is to make homes “net zero” energy — able to produce as much energy over the course of a year as they consume. This is done through heat pumps, a super-tight barrier between the inside and outside, above-code insulation, energy-efficient windows, lighting, appliances and solar power.
This modern craftsman home is simply perfect. Built in 2012, it has been lovingly maintained and improved upon ever since and features a stunning open floor plan with natural light streaming in from every direction.
An enormous great room is the absolute highlight! With just over 5,000 square feet, it features a dedicated home office as well as five full bedrooms, four full and two half baths, and a media room. Upgraded and luxurious architectural features are prominently featured throughout. Bonus rooms such as the walk-in pantry and well-organized mudroom make this home absolutely drool-worthy.

And in the world of immigration law, the question “what is marriage?” has a surprisingly complex answer.
