Property Description
Step inside a truly one of a kind passive solar home, where every detail was thoughtfully designed by renowned local architect/engineer Bruce Brownell, to offer self-regulating energy efficiency & a harmonious connection with nature. Solar glazing (windows) along the southern wall fills the home with natural light & allows it to absorb heat, creating a warm & inviting atmosphere throughout the unique, multi-level open layout. Additionally, reflective insulation panels along the rafters can be adjusted seasonally to enhance comfort year-round. The cedar-built sanctuary features a bedroom & full bathroom on the main level, an upper level primary suite with soaking tub, & two loft spaces; perfect for a home office, creative endeavors, guest accommodations, or quiet retreats. The true heart of this architectural dream is the gallery level lounge, where walls of picture windows invite in natural light and frame stunning garden views. The adjoining elevated deck creates a seamless connection to the outdoors, offering a serene, restorative escape. In this home, every room feels like a destination, perfect for relaxation & conversation. Recent improvements including high-end appliances, updated electrical, & a new boiler, provide comfort & peace of mind while preserving the home's distinctive character. Just beyond the kitchen, on the garden level patio, you'll discover an organically designed landscape, adorned with stone walls, echoing town history and the original Garnsey property next door. The established gardens are a true highlight & any gardeners dream, offering a rich variety of edible berries, fruit trees, vegetables, & wildflowers. Mature flowering magnolia trees enhance the landscape, while private walking trails through the 6+ acre property invite you to explore & unwind. Whimsical, sustainable, & unlike anything else on the market, this exceptional property offers a rare opportunity to fall in love with a home that is as inspiring as it is functional.
