This award winning 5 star++ energy rated home was designed by the current owner in 2002 with no expense spared in regards to energy efficiency and craftsmanship. From the compact footprint, to the vaulted ceilings, south-facing windows providing passive solar, pellet stove and extensive insulation, its no wonder this property was the recipient of the Better Buildings by Design Award for energy efficiency soon after it was built. Located on twelve extremely private wooded acres, this home is the perfect match for those looking for space and tranquility in a spotlessly maintained dwelling. Radiant heat, an open floor plan, updated kitchen with Energy Star appliances and an updated bathroom rounds out the main living space, which has been thoughtfully designed to accommodate for ADA upgrades if the new owner so chooses. The standing seam roof is brand new and built to last. There is a one-car attached garage, and a spacious and bright wood shop on the ground level. This home is unmatched in the market and available now. Winter is coming and this property is the perfect place to weather any storm!
