This beautiful custom-built home is energy efficient, utilizes environmentally friendly practices and materials, and is LEED Silver Certified! This spacious home is sited on a 0.4 acre lot, has 5 bedrooms, 3-1/2 baths, 3 fully finished levels, and a large deck with mountain views. Walking into the home, the newly refinished hardwood floors are simply gorgeous. The high-efficiency windows are argon filled, reducing solar heat gain, and decreasing cooling requirements in the summer. Heating and cooling of the home is extremely efficient through the Geothermal heat pump which draws on the earth’s constant temperature, thus using far less energy than air-to-air heat pumps. The home uses passive solar design which enhances its north-south orientation thereby using the natural heating and cooling properties of the sun’s seasonal positioning in the sky to reduce energy consumption and utility bills. Notice that the south-facing orientation and maximal window placement promote natural daylighting even in the lower level space. The lower level has two bedrooms, a full bath, a full kitchen, stacked washer/dryer, and a private entrance, making it an ideal rental to cover your mortgage or use as an in-law suite. The entire house interior is freshly painted. SIPs – Structural insulated panels were used for the exterior walls and roof. The exterior Hardiplank siding looks like wood but is a fiber-cement composition and is immune to termite and insect damage. The community has interconnected walking paths, fenced garden space available to the residents, a large playground, and an electric car charging station. The community also has the use and benefit of 100 acres in conservation land offering idyllic scenery, mountain views, trails, meadows, streams, a wildlife sanctuary certified through the Audubon at Home Program, a Monarch butterfly waystation, and the historic Stoutsenberger Farmstead. In addition, the location is conveniently just 5 miles from the Point of Rocks MARC train station, making for an easy commute into D.C. Upgrades include Bamboo wood floors newly refinished; new LTV flooring installed in lower level; interior painted on all 3 levels; all windows serviced and new balancers installed where needed; new microwave; septic system inspected and pumped.
