What makes your home a Green or Healthy Home?

House has a 48V solar battery electric system (grid is also available) and solar hot water system used for hot water and supplemental heating. The house is easy to heat, using one and 1/2 cords of wood along with heat from the sunporch and active solar hydronic baseboards.

Property Description

This unique house was originally a horse barn which was converted to a house in 1978. The downstairs is open with a custom made oak spiral staircase in the center and the wood stove in a cozy brick alcove. The kitchen is vintage 70s, galley style. There is a separate room housing washer, freezer, solar batteries, plus lots of shelving and a workbench. The wonderful southfacing sunporch runs the length of the house but is separated from the house with a sliding glass door. Upstairs there is a sunroom and 3 bedrooms, each with private bath and large closet. There is a large 2 car garage with workshop area and lots of storage space. The land is mostly hilly, south facing, some open with fenced 25x25 organic vegetable garden and plenty of space for fruit trees, the rest wooded. Note that ceilings throughout the house are just over 7 feet.
