135 Old Coach Rd, Athens, OH 45701

Eco-green" as a summer pasture, built like a fortress with integrated concrete forms, and wonderfully inventive and creative at every turn, this solidly-built, 2400 square foot home is situated on lovely wooded lot just minutes from town. The basics are all here—3/4 bedrooms, 2 baths, great room, family room, office, laundry room, and more, but it's the ingenuity and creativity that you simply must experience in person here, from repurposed doors, wood and trim, to "found" natural objects that artfully incorporate themselves into a cohesive design sensibility where art, nature and quietude all interact. The house is super-insulated, with radiant floor heat system and functional wood-burning stove (plenty of trees to cull on the 2+ acre lot), tile and bamboo flooring, on-demand hot water heater, convenient shop/garage, and interior "root cellar." Another key design conceit here is to find ways to experience and enjoy the outdoors, and to that end you will find expansive front and rear porches PLUS a huge concrete rooftop patio that's ready for the new owner to install a hot tub. There are also woods to explore, lots of wildlife, and established garden beds with stone retaining walls/walkways, and more. House is roughly 95% complete, with a functional but unfinished kitchen and dining area that can be finished according to plan, or easily modified since the clear span construction requires no load-bearing walls. This home is not for everybody—it's too special for that. So if you are somebody who is not everybody, give Russell a call to schedule a look at this one-of-a-kind opportunity.
