Exceptional construction and upgrades in this timberframe 3732 sq. ft., double-lot (.79 acre) lakefront Lake Heritage home. Includes combined lots 742 and 743. Every detail was thought out and no expense was spared. Walls and roof are made of SIPS (structural insulated panels) for high insulation value and tight construction. Because the house is so tight, it has a heat-exchange recirculating system that exchanges air throughout 1 or 2 times/day. The house is also near-passive solar (South side faces 12 degrees off Solar South) and overhang allows sun into south windows in winter, but not in summer. Along with primarily deciduous trees on south (Lake) side, during the winter the solar heat often beats the thermostat setting. Rather than gutters, the home features rock-filled drainage along the roof drip lines that drain into soil rather than run off. Solid hardwood flooring is a mix of 7 species of variable width wood, salvaged from a barn in Virginia with 4 coats of polyurethane. Unique, heavy-duty, quiet, open wood and steel staircase is built to 1/8" tolerances, providing cozy atmosphere, especially at night. Solid wood doors through-out adds to industrial loft styling of home with 600 lb barn door separating living area and main level primary bedroom with full on-suite bath. Main level (with 10' ceilings and exposed posts and beams throughout) also consists of a laundry/mud room, a half bath and a great room with tons of windows facing lake. Kitchen boasts quartz countertops, an island, pantry cabinet, GE Profile gas cooktop/wall oven/refrigerator, Bosch dishwasher, Medallion dovetailed and soft-close cabinets with pull-out shelving. Living/dining room area of great room has gas stove/heater and built-in bookshelves. Screen room with composite flooring is accessed off of living area. Mudroom/laundry room accesses 2 car garage which then accesses a composite side deck where sun hits at at an angle that makes it warm enough to enjoy morning coffee/breakfast even at 30 degrees. 2nd floor of home is one huge open loft space with exposed posts and beams and vaulted ceiling. 7 species wood flooring is continued upstairs. Sellers used the space for their offices, but the possibilites are endless. Full walk-out basement has 2 bedrooms, each with an attached full bath and shared common family room space, along with a large storage/utility room.
