Property Description

Sitting in an open field with Southern exposure, this thoughtfully planned two bedroom, two bath house has an enclosed porch; a full basement and makes use of efficient appointments throughout. The mechanical systems keep things simple: The sun heats the hot water with its 40 tube solar hot water system. A propane wall hung boiler provides hot water baseboard heat. (average 400 gallons per year- this year 240 so far) The beautiful Rais wood stove could easily heat the house all by itself with less than 2 cords of wood. Appliances (washer/dryer, refrigerator, dishwasher) are Stainless steel and among the most efficient and meet Energy Star standards. New electric stove has glass top. With 950 square feet of living space and 8’ ceilings; pine floors; a galley kitchen; cozy wood stove; unique touches, and fresh paint create a simple modern aesthetic for colorful living. There is also an enclosed porch and a full unfinished (heated) basement. There is room for expansion. Outside, the circular drive brings you right to the door or you can meander past flower beds or along paths through the field and woods. Grow your own veggies in the raised beds and keep your wood in the outbuilding. The house was professionally energy audited and subsequent insulation (blown in cellulose) and air sealing has made the house two times tighter than current code construction. Tightness is excellent when compared to other existing houses. Compare utility cost and property taxes with other homes to understand how easy this house, with its direct simple approach to comfort, style and function would be a pleasure to own.
