125 Elfin Ln, Charlotte, VT 05445

Built in the close knit Williams Hill Community of Charlotte, a small development of high-efficiency homes, this net-zero home is designed for a growing family. Sited on a wooded hill, surrounded by protected park land with trail access, the house takes full advantage of solar exposure and open views. The generously sized 3 bed, 2.5 bath home is design for expansion in mind with a brand new outbuilding convertible to an office or studio, a finish ready fully conditioned basement prepped for an additional full bathroom, and siting plans for an attached 2 car garage and full bedroom in-law suite. A brand new LG solar array fully powers this all electric home and unique well-based geothermal system, enabling near zero-cost heating and air conditioning through the entire Vermont year. While classic in exterior form, the house takes advantage of angled roof geometries and open spaces to create a variety of room environments, with dramatic woodland views and pervasive sunlight. Designed with durable and ultra-low maintenance materials and infrastructure, as well as the latest in networking standards and wiring, the house connects a vision of the past with the tools and lifestyle of the future. The materials and palette, both interior and exterior, offer a contemporary and 21st century take of the classic vernacular New England Home.
