Nestled among the trees on a one-acre lot you’ll find this eye-catching double envelope home. What is a double envelope home, you may ask? Well, it is a passive solar house design, which collects solar energy in a solarium and passively allows the warm air to circulate around the house between two sets of walls; so it’s basically a house within a house. Start your tour in the welcoming foyer then head into the dramatic sunroom where the solar energy is collected. Sunroom boasts a vaulted ceiling with seven skylights, a wall of windows with shelving above for your plants, and a walk-out to the deck where you’re sure to enjoy watching the deer and other wildlife frolicking in the trees. Sliding doors lead you into the living room with wood planked, beamed ceiling and wood burning stove tucked into a brick surround. Living room is open to the kitchen also with a wood-planked, beamed ceiling. Kitchen features a counter bar, above cupboard storage, pantry cupboard, above and under cabinet lighting, tile backsplash, and a pull-out cutting board. Next on the main level is a bonus room with built-in storage cupboards, which would be a great office, or craft room Your two car attached garage with built-in storage shelves and a 12’ x 6’ workshop is accessed through the mudroom which has built-in shelving too. A powder/laundry room rounds out the main level. Upstairs you’ll find two guest bedrooms both with a generous allotment of closet space and the roomy master suite with 11’ x 5’ dressing area, an entire wall of closet space, a private entrance into the one-fourth bath, and a walk-out to a private balcony inside the sunroom where you can enjoy the night sky through the skylights. Dressing area holds the closet space, a linen cupboard, and a vanity with dressing table cut-out. One-fourth bath shares a water closet with the guest half bath. Don’t miss out on the opportunity to own this stunning architectural marvel.
