Features & Specs
2194 Sq Ft – Completed 2001
Built on a hilly, almost mountain like site in Chatham county, the home is nestled into the hillside to minimize the impact of the front upon initial arrival up the steep driveway. This passive solar home provides great views and a comfortable living space from both the living room. Indirect lighting in these spaces provide efficient and pleasant experiences. The basement rooms also benefit from passive solar heat gain. Heating is from passive solar and masonry fireplace with a heat pump used for back up needs. The siding on the home is locally available eastern cypress.
