Sustainable living meets modern comfort! Designed and built by engineers, this passive solar home is not your average house. This thoughtfully designed 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath home, nestled on a serene and private one-acre lot in the heart of Southern Chester County, blends eco-conscious design with timeless comfort. It offers energy efficiency, natural light, and year-round comfort with minimal environmental impact. From the moment you arrive you’ll appreciate the home’s orientation and smart architectural features—it faces13 degrees east of due south as that gathers more sunlight at this latitude. The south-facing windows capture the sun’s warmth in the winter, while overhangs and thermal mass help keep the interior cool in summer. The result is reduced utility costs and a consistently comfortable living environment. The entryways are airlocks to prevent heat loss. Once inside you'll notice the lovely tile floors in the dining room and adjoining kitchen that are part of the solar concept. The kitchen has custom oak cabinets and Corian counters with a section of butcher block. Off of the kitchen is the laundry room and a pantry with insulated drawers for wine. The great room has a ceiling to floor wall of local stone that encases the wood stove. This, coupled with the high ceiling design is easily the focal point of the home. Off of the great room is a main floor office. The parquet wood floor is from the Goldey Beacom College basketball court! There's also a bedroom on this level with a cedar closet and half bath. Rounding out the main level is a lovely stone and cedar all season room, complete with 3 skylights. There's a water system here in case you want this room to house your plants. As you travel up the oak cantilevered stairs you'll find 3 more bedrooms. The primary suite has oak flooring, walk in closet and private deck overlooking the back yard. The en-suite bath has a shower with glass block floor to ceiling surround, double back lit night lite sinks and plenty of storage. The other bedrooms share a Jack & Jill bath with back lit sinks and Jacuzzi tub with glass block wall surround. The bedrooms have clerestory windows to hold heat. Out back you'll find a large deck for relaxing as you look out over the lovely and private back yard. Add to this a 3 car garage and a large driveway that has a partial stone wall surround. Whether you're drawn to its sustainable features, smart layout, or tranquil setting, this home offers a rare opportunity to live in harmony with nature—without sacrificing comfort or style.
