HIGHEST AND BEST OFFERS DUE ON TUESDAY AT 3 PM. OCT 7TH. Imagine a house that is both beautiful and built from the ground up, utilizing the highest standards of sustainable technology. Welcome home to this extraordinary 2 bedroom (lives like a three bedroom), 2 bath, 1683 square foot Green Home, technically known as a Passive House, an electric house that actually makes a difference in the environment with its 20 solar roof panels and heat pumps producing extremely low Con Edison bills - 10% of a regular home (air conditioning utilized at no cost and an on demand hot water heater), triple pane glazed European-made high performance windows (south facing taking advantage of the sun's warmth in those cold winter months with custom cedar shutters and overhang to shade during the high summer sun.) The house has twice the insulation required by state and federal codes. An Energy Recovery Ventilator in the attic supplies a constant flow of fresh air at room temperature to circulate throughout the home. You will love the locally milled white oak flooring throughout the home, complete with its knots, stains, and burls (everything has a story!). The large kitchen/dining/living room is the central gravitation point for all with its 22' ceiling and exquisite LED lighting, trestle table and seating, Bosch energy-efficient appliances, and induction range (all chosen to conserve energy). The Primary bedroom and hall bath are located on the first floor, and a second bedroom, bathroom, study, and/or guest room are located on the second floor. Offering airtight construction with all seams, nail holes, and joints sealed to minimize drafts, dust, and heat/cold transfer. The house was built on an insulated slab and maintains a comfortable indoor temperature, even when barefoot - another tremendous benefit. The two bathrooms offer warmth and character, perfectly complementing the house design. 0% VOC stains were used (volatile organic compounds) again to make this home as eco-friendly as possible. There is a wonderful deck, outdoor fountain, meditation, and organic garden, with very little grass to cut, and flowering native perennial plants throughout the year that attract birds and pollinators in abundance. And don't forget the fragrant smell of ground covering thyme as you approach the front door to further enhance your senses! The trees were planted and chosen so not to be a hindrance to the solar panels (3 different holly trees!). A blend of stucco and burnt cedar siding in the traditional Japanese wood preservation style of Yakisugi - no surprise that this home was featured in the April 8th, 2018 Hudson Indy Westchester's Rivertown News, and the homeowners received an engineering excellence award for this "net-zero" status home.
