Want to stay in a climate friendly home that might have some of the ingredients your considering for your next house?
If you stay in our Reid House property you'll be signing on for the following...
..It's comfortable & quiet. Our secret sauce, we rebuilt the house to German Passive house standards that includes super insulation, an airtight building, great windows/doors, a 24/7 fresh air system and a power plant with solar panels and batteries, all driven by the sun.
..We're pet friendly. How? We have easy to clean floors and a great back yard with easy to clean up dog friendly turf!
..You'll experience what it's like to live in a climate friendly, low carbon home. Specifically, you'll learn why this home uses as little as 10 percent of the energy used by a typical home. You'll... experience induction cooking, drink great tasting water, learn new ways of saving water, get a feel for how our Vermaposting system replaces a garbage disposal, see how expired resources have been given a second life and when hanging outside you might experience a hummingbird sighting...

The neighborhood:
Bridgeport is an old steel and factory town in a central location. Back in the day, there was (among other things) a steel mill, a pants factory, a carpet factory, and a hardware store that was the stuff of legend. Many of the row homes in town were originally built as company housing. The many row homes and "twins" (side-by-side duplexes) you see in Bridgeport are characteristic of traditional Philadelphia-area homebuilding. Bridgeport was always a little place nestled between the much larger towns of Norristown, King of Prussia, and Conshohocken. Norristown had a much larger industrial and commercial center, and is today a gold mine for ethnic food (Mexican, Ethiopian, Jamaican, Vietnamese, Italian, Indian, Japanese...). King of Prussia offers Valley Forge Park and the largest shopping mall on the East Coast. Conshohocken, another old steel town, is now an up-and-coming neighborhood with a vibrant bar and restaurant scene.
Reid House has a private parking space behind the house, 3 homes off the alley. If you are driving an electric car, feel free to plug in to our energy plant (solar and batteries). Additional parking is available on the street and by using one of our two Tap House parking stickers.
A little more about the home…
