Environmentally friendly home built in 2015 by Coda Design + Build. The 2,340 square foot home was constructed to maximize solar orientation (PV solar) and the natural lighting (passive solar) for greater efficiency. The house utilizes a tank-less water heater, with energy star qualified appliances, windows and lighting controls. The house is equipped with micro-split heating/cooling and a Central Energy Recover Ventilators (CERV) to keep occupants comfortable and dry while saving on energy bills. The aluminum roof with sun reflective color and sun shades further cut down on the heat load of the home to reduce energy consumption. To ensure excellent indoor air quality, only low VOC products and finishes were used inside the home. The drywall actually absorbs VOC in the air. The fireplace is clean burning ethanol. The smart home system (Control4) controls lighting, video, security and full-home audio (indoor and outdoor) from your mobile device / ipad. Six-inch wide red oak flooring throughout. Master bedroom suite has an enclosed Kohler steam shower. Kitchen included in island fan and induction cooktop. Home has mid century modern furniture an all is negotiable in sale. The yard is Xeriscape landscaping with sedum and liriope grass - low water / no care needed. Side bluestone patio for entertaining and roof deck with ceramic tiles for a quiet getaway. The siding is Hardie board fiberglass cement. Open floor plan with opportunity to finish out the basement to your style. The result of these elements coming together is that the home’s environmental impact is a fraction of the standard home.
