Well designed and solid construction, this home has an open floorplan on the main level, with private, ample bedrooms above. The deck off the kitchen is perched among oaks and wraps around to the large patio behind the home. These spaces are private and well suited to entertaining or relaxing to the sound of water running off Haystack Mountain past the property. House is heated through a combination of passive solar, a masonry heater and radiant in-floor and baseboard (gas) heat. High velocity ductwork carries cool air in the summer when needed. Beautiful wooded setting in Cumberland, close to this small town's amenities and arts community, but with plenty of privacy in a quiet neghborhood.
Passive solar design, the east-to-west axis of the home is 15 degrees east of south. Built of autoclaved aerated concrete block, the home is able to breathe while still being well insulated. Sealed solid wood trim throughout. Central vacuum and heated concrete floors on the main and basement levels increase air quality inside during the winter months. High efficiency gas boiler for hot water and heating. Finnish masonry stove design provides highly efficient wood combustion and energy conversion while minimizing particulate exhaust.
Located in Cumberland's quiet west side neighborhood, which contains a mix of post war architecture and a few contemporary homes, this home sits near the base of Haystack Mountain.
Cumberland has been consistently rated as one of the top small art cities in the US by American Style magazine, and is located in western Maryland along the Potomac River. Located midway between the Pittsburgh and Baltimore-Washington population centers, Cumberland and surrounding areas of Allegany County have a great deal of recreational and cultural assets.
