Unique, Energy-Conscious Home Surrounded by Nature! This distinctive multi-level home offers an abundance of space, thoughtful design features, and a peaceful setting surrounded by mature trees, perennial gardens, and wildlife on over 8 acres. The home features hydronic radiant floor heating incorporated into insulated, reinforced concrete flooring, providing comfortable, even heat throughout the home. Solid concrete walls and foundation contribute to the home's substantial construction and help provide temperature stability throughout the seasons. The roof, replaced in 2021, was designed with consideration for seasonal sun exposure and incorporates passive-solar design principles. A heat pump works in conjunction with the radiant floor system to provide heating and cooling, while a backup gas heater is located in the mudroom. The spacious first floor offers an open-concept kitchen, dining, and living area, along with a large walk-in pantry, bedroom, full bathroom, and additional bonus/office space. Upstairs, a generous sitting/living area at the top of the stairs leads to two oversized bedrooms, each with its own full bathroom and enormous walk-in closet. These impressive closets offer enough space for additional storage, hobby areas, or flexible-use space. The third-floor loft adds even more versatility, with two additional bedrooms, a half bathroom, and private balconies for each bedroom—perfect for enjoying the surrounding views and fresh air. Outdoor living is equally appealing. A large rear deck overlooks the mature trees and provides a tranquil setting for relaxing, entertaining or watching wildlife. The property features a variety of trees, including some unusual and less-common varieties, along with an extensive selection of perennial flowers. For those interested in gardening or small-scale homesteading, the property includes a sturdy chicken coop and fenced garden area with grapevines, berry bushes, and raised garden beds. A detached 24' x 48' garage/workshop provides covered parking, workspace and additional storage. The property also includes two separate two-car carports, each equipped with lighting and electricity, providing abundant parking and covered storage options. With its combination of unique construction, energy-conscious features, flexible living spaces, extensive outdoor areas, gardens, and abundant storage and parking, this property offers a lifestyle and layout that is truly different from the ordinary.
