At Mirikeen Homes, we’re constantly seeking innovative materials that combine unparalleled beauty with lasting performance. That’s why we’re thrilled to showcase ACRE by Modern Mill, an incredible tree-free composite that’s revolutionizing home exteriors, as seen on one of our prominent new builds in the highly sought-after West of Market neighborhood in Kirkland.
This stunning home, just blocks from waterfront parks and minutes from Downtown Kirkland amenities, features not only breathtaking Lake Washington views and a private neighborhood beach, but also the remarkable benefits of ACRE siding.
What makes ACRE the ideal choice for a Mirikeen Home in West of Market?
ACRE offers the luxurious look and feel of wood with the modern conveniences of a high-performance composite. It’s truly indistinguishable from natural wood, free from that “plasticky” capstock finish, and it’s the first and only stainable composite on the market. This means homeowners can achieve any desired aesthetic, while enjoying a host of practical advantages:
- Sustainable & Eco-Friendly: ACRE is made in Mississippi at a zero-waste manufacturing facility from upcycled rice hulls – a food production waste byproduct that typically ends up in landfills. This tree-free solution is resistant to international lumber supply and tariff challenges, making it a reliable and responsible choice.
- Unrivaled Durability: Forget worries about water damage, harsh weather, pests, or rot. ACRE is built to withstand the elements, ensuring your home’s exterior remains pristine for years to come.
- Exceptional Workability: For our skilled craftsmen, ACRE is a dream to work with. It cuts, drills, sands, and routs easily with regular woodworking tools and doesn’t produce harmful dust. It also boasts strong screw and nail retention without mushrooming, splitting, or the need for pre-drilling.
- Low Maintenance: While stainable and paintable without primer, ACRE’s inherent resistance to the elements means less upkeep for homeowners, freeing up more time to enjoy the incredible amenities of their West of Market location, like the private neighborhood beach and trail to Juanita Bay Park.
This particular West of Market gem is a true testament to modern luxury, featuring HVAC heating and cooling zoned by room, a waterfall counter, a steel staircase, a 5’ pivot door, a luxurious primary suite with a wet room, and heated floors in every bathroom. The rooftop deck, plumbed for water and gas, offers unobstructive views, perfectly complementing the sweeping Lake Washington vistas. The addition of ACRE siding ensures that the exterior is just as exceptional as the interior, offering enduring beauty and peace of mind.
At Mirikeen Homes, we’re proud to build homes that are not only beautiful but also built to last. With ACRE by Modern Mill, we’re delivering on that promise, offering our clients in prestigious neighborhoods like West of Market a truly superior siding solution.
