A remarkable house ! Wonderful design for energy efficient living. Passive solar concepts were used throughout in the construction. The entry is composed of a large room that is an airlock - prevents conditioned air escaping to the outside. The garage is accessed from this space. Another door leads to the foyer, a two story stair hall that is bright and inviting. A guest closet is at this spot. Stairs lead down to the entertaining areas and up to the bedrooms. On the ground level is the living room/dining room, with a wood burning fireplace. Sliding glass doors lead out to the sunroom - a 2 story space that serves as a delightful entertaining area, but also as a solar collection element. A two story brick wall absorbs heat during the day and releases it overnight. There are double height sliding glass doors that overlook the decks and the private green oasis of the garden. The gourmet kitchen has a breakfast area, views to the garden and a built-in planning center. The laundry is adjacent to the kitchen, in a hallway leading to storage ( perfect wine cellar). A powder room is also off this hallway. Extensive storage and work areas are on this level. The first floor has spaces that would serve as "basement" use, perimeter basement. The bedroom level offers a large primary bedroom with sitting area. There are wonderful views of the garden. The large primary bathroom offers a walk-in shower, double sinks and a huge walk-in closet. There is a door from the bedroom opening to the exercise room. This space is the upper part of the sunroom, and has sliding glass doors opening on to an outside balcony that spans the length of the house. The space could be a playroom or casual family spot. There are 2 more bedrooms and a hall bath on this level. Both bedrooms open to the exercise room. An additional room could be a study/office or hobby room. A large storage room can handle a wide range of equipment/gear for an active family. (2 storage closets stay)
On the third level, reached by a spiral staircase, is a huge space offering a range of uses - home office, in-law suite, guest quarters or older children retreat. There is a large bath with a Jacuzzi tub. Storage is outstanding in this home. Multiple closets are on every level. The garage is oversized and can handle an array of equipment. The property is situated in a cul-de- sac at the end of a long drive. The lot is 2.8 acres but surrounding open acreage makes the property seem larger. A creek wanders through the property. Multiple trees provide shade and seasonal interest. The large deck/terrace is a wonderful platform to view nature.
