90 Hillcrest Rd, New Canaan, CT 06840

2014 new construction. Energy efficiency off the charts: 10 Kw solar panels provide 100% electricity in sunny months. “Air Krete” all natural (foamed magnesium sulfate from sea water sprayed in stud/rafter bays) R 40 walls and R 60 roof. Air Krete is also fireproof. Safer from fire = peace of mind. Also added for insulation and efficiency are Zip R panels exterior sheathing. 1” of foam with 1/2” plywood forms the entire exterior- adding continuous insulation layer and “thermal break” with foam between all sheathing and framing. Also - the house has geothermal heating and cooling. Five wells under the driveway at 300’ deep each provide heat exchange ground loops for the geothermal units, of which there are 3. Two units provide forced air heat/cooling and are 4x more efficient than traditional heating/cooling units. Third geothermal unit provides hot water which runs the in floor radiant heat in every room of the house. Amazingly comfortable in the winter. And, radiant heat is through “Warmboard” floor sheathing which is plywood with aluminum face in which the channels lie which carry the radiant heat water tubes. Quarter sawn white oak flooring throughout (aside from tile areas in mud room, bathrooms) means no cupping or warping of flooring from sitting directly on the aluminum Warmboard. This Warmboard means the floor heating comes on faster, and is much more even than underfloor staple-up radiant tubing. You will love how low your average monthly electric bill is (average $400/month) and supplemental propane for hot water and radiant runs $1,000/year (1,000 gallon tank buried in yard). Also all installed lighting is exclusively LED. Basement is finished and includes an 800sf home gym (gym equipment can stay with house after fair pricing of equipment). Basement also has media room with 72” UHDTV and surround sound. House also has an Elan G! home automation system. Control all tv’s and speaker zones from handheld remotes, smartphone, or the multiple wall touchscreens. Elan integrates whole house audio (in ceiling speakers in nearly every room) along with video sources available for all zones (you only need one cable box, and maybe 2 Apple TV units or Roku etc). Elan also controls Lutron lighting (fully programmable and remote-controllable when not home) and security system. Arguably the most efficient and comfortable home around.
