DESIGN DETAILS
Inspired by the traditional Victorian architecture of the English countryside, this bespoke hand-crafted home is built using modern Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs), making it stronger, better insulated, and exceptionally air-tight which reduces your heating bill in the winter and cooling bill in the summer. SIPs are a modern alternative to stick-framing employed across the US from Alaska to Florida. This slab-on-grade design has also eliminated the need for a crawlspace or basement, making this house impervious to flooding and eliminates the serious threats of damp and mold under your house.
The HVAC system has also been designed with simplicity and comfort in mind, using fully automated systems and the most efficient equipment available. In-floor heating and cooling provide year-round comfort throughout the home using an exceptionally efficient Arctic cold-climate heat pump, and a RenewAire Premium-S energy recovery ventilator (ERV) continuously brings in fresh, filtered air for improved indoor air quality while also controlling humidity and temperature. These are fully automated systems that take care of it all and simply do it better!
In addition, the US-made P.V. system produces free electricity which will be used during daylight hours to run white goods and major appliances for free, or it is simply sent back to the grid automatically and you receive credit on your bill from Consumers Energy each month. You don’t have to do anything! Ask for the latest figures! Retrofitting these systems into an existing home would cost over $80,000! This home has them all fully integrated and automated for a level of comfort and quality rarely found in this price bracket.
There is also more than meets the eye to the roof itself – it has a double deck with a ventilation gap between them, also known as a cold roof. This is the most under-rated feature in modern construction because it keeps the surface of the roof cold in winter, preventing snowmelt that causes ice-dams and icicles, and in summer this gap creates a cool flow of air from the eaves to the ridge under the shingles that prevents the baking heat of the shingles ever reaching the ceilings inside. This saves your hard-earned cash too because the HVAC systems do not have to work as hard to maintain comfortable temperatures inside. Because of this ventilation gap, and because Certainteed underlayment, shingles and ridge vent were installed by a Credentialed ShingleMaster Roofing Company, Certainteed have awarded a 50-year 4-Star Warranty. This is non-prorated coverage for materials and labor and is fully transferable to a subsequent homeowner.
Peace of mind also comes from the great warranties from the other reputable companies with strongly backed products used in this construction. These include a limited lifetime warranty on the US-made Structural Insulated Panels that make the walls and roof, 25-year product warranty and 30-year performance warranty on US-made Silfab solar panels, 5-year warranties on all parts of the Arctic domestic hot water, Arctic in-floor heating and Arctic cooling systems, to name a few! This home offers a fresh start with no renovations, repairs, or having to live with outdated wiring or plumbing blunders. Add to that: all new refrigerator, dishwater, stove, clothes washer, drier, and ceiling fans, all Energy Star certified to reduce utility bills while providing high quality performance! Energy efficient systems and appliances mean you save money. Ask for the latest figures!
You will enjoy a real sense of space in all the rooms. Vaulted cathedral ceilings with white pine tongue-and-groove detailing add warmth and character, and double patio doors connect the spacious kitchen and open-plan living room to the private patio and backyard, perfect for BBQs, hosting a great room banquet, or watching the stars round a fire.
The seller is including the construction of a 22ft x 22ft detached garage in a construction addendum / change order for an additional $10,000 if this is of interest. Please ask for detailed blueprints.
