Eight new, energy-efficient homes were recently completed in a rejuvenated portion of Silverton’s Milltown neighborhood.
Castlebrook Estates, built by Dale’s Remodeling of Salem, is designed to meet the needs of an aging population. The homes feature lots of light, larger doorways with little or no steps, large outdoor living spaces, RV parking and the use of low maintenance products such as easy-care windows, designer granite, laminate countertops and flooring, and Hardie plank siding.
“The current lack of housing in Oregon puts new home builds in great demand,” said Patty Bolstad of HomeSmart Realty Group. “Communities like Silverton are becoming more and more popular and the re-urbanization of the older Milltown area in Silverton has created a very desirable place to live.”
Dale’s broke ground on the subdivision last November and completed the last home in July. All but one of the single-family homes – ranging in size from 1,600 to 2,200 sq. ft. – have sold, with an offer pending on the last home. The company has also begun work on subdivisions in Keizer, West Salem and Dallas, building on 40 years’ experience in the home renovation business to meet housing needs.
“Diversification has allowed us to use the remodeling side of our business as a platform while we grow to meet outlying needs in the community and surrounding areas,” said Dale Van Lydegraf, President of Dale’s Remodeling. “New construction is heavily underserved right now and we’re excited to move into this market and invest in the communities around us.”
