What makes your home a Green or Healthy Home?

The home itself is a passive solar design set on a radiant heated slab with two glazed shade trellises in addition to two porches easing the transition to the gardens. Foot paths are permeable glacier jack pebbles. The home has 32" roof overhangs with 5" gutters so that the cedar shingle siding can be left un-painted to reduce both VOC's and maintenance. It is also has a solar heated radiant floor system with two panels on the roof that warm the floor and also provide domestic hot water with the assistance of a Rinnai propane fired demand water heater.

Property Description

This award-winning luxury custom home sits on 12+ beautiful and private wooded acres in Efland, North Carolina. It combines cutting-edge modern design and rustic charm in equal measure. The house, built by Michael Chandler of Chandler Design and Build in 2007, was conceived with the intention of being one with its environment. Its open-floor plan and extensive use of glass bring the outside in — embracing and showcasing the surrounding nature and light. The home utilizes passive solar design. Its wide roof overhangs provide ample shade in the summer while considerable amounts of south glazing welcome the sun to warm the home in winter. Two shade trellises, two porches and a deck provide a seamless transition to the outdoors. The custom garden and its winding stone paths mesh perfectly with the four-season native landscaping. In addition, the entire property is remarkable for the variety of plant life that can be found while hiking, and the land fronts a creek that leads to the Eno River. The home was built with Mother Nature in mind and it can withstand whatever the elements have in store. There are extra steel reinforcements and 100% OSB wall and roof sheathing. The home is insulated with 5 inches of spray foam in the walls and 8 inches in the roof. The windows and appliances (except the stove) are energy star rated. And a water filtration system was added in 2010. Notably, the home’s aging-in-place construction and design incorporate many accessibility features, such as 2'8"-wide doorways and step-free street access. Despite the home’s “country” solitude, it’s only a 15-minute drive to Chapel Hill and Durham, 10 minutes to Hillsborough, and 40 minutes to Greensboro. The I-40/I-85 corridor is just two miles away. Additional amenities include: Proximity to both UNC and Duke Hospitals 10-foot ceilings throughout Wood-burning, energy-efficient fireplace in “Great Room” Gas fireplace in the 3rd bedroom Two HVACS/dual thermostats for separate heating/cooling zones Insulated doggie door in spacious laundry room/pantry Soaking tub in the master bath Custom built-in bookcases and window seats Washer and dryer 7-foot deer fencing surrounds property Custom driveway gate entrance designed by Ruffin Hobbs Custom garden with winding stone paths Four-season native landscaping Garden shed with deck
