New home options in walkable Early American Cashmere

Even if your current home is comfortable and nicely situated and you’ve become accustomed to its individual quirks, you probably experience “house lust” occasionally.

Maybe it’s reading about movie-star mansions (“dropped to $3.5 million!”) or driving down a favorite street with sidewalks, trees and history in your own town that does it.

A high-up view lot sets your mind to blueprints. Or, for retirees, it may be the region’s bloom of easy-care condominium or patio homes to match turn-key travel.

No one can predict who will want to live where, but buyers are looking closely at houses in a new-built, old-look neighborhood in Cashmere.

Riverside Meadow consists of 10 two-level homes on short cul-de-sacs bordered by the city park and tucked away between Cottage Avenue and the Wenatchee River.

Three local individuals have poured their efforts into it.

Initially, landowner Craig Hess platted and permitted the acreage, then developer Flint Hartwig employed LexarHomes as builder, and now Chris Silver with RE/MAX Landmark is the listing broker.

A unique feature they are proud of is the location… location… location. Riverside Meadow is a level stroll to shops and restaurants, library and community center through Cashmere’s historic residential district, or “cross-country” on the wide asphalt walking trail along the bank of the Wenatchee River.

A playground, a skate park and wide playing fields adjoin the fenced neighborhood.
