This custom built home combines traditional architecture with very modern energy efficiency. It is a spacious home (3200 SF) with three bedrooms and 3.5 baths, set privately on 2.8 acres in Ballston Lake, NY.

Features: The front of the house (public area) includes cherry trimmed hall, living and dining rooms. The back of the house (family area), is finished in a rustic stained pine, includes a very open family room and kitchen that is bathed with sun. Pass through the mudroom with laundry and bath and exit down to the oversized two car garage or exit up to an unfinished bonus room (768 SF). Upstairs the master bedroom suite is separated from two additional bedrooms and bath by the central hall. The house sits on a large, deep, dry, unfinished basement.

Energy Efficiency: Built in 1990 this home exceeds national ENERGY STAR standards today. The shell is very well insulated with low air infiltration. Passive solar gains, a WaterFurnace geothermal heat pump and a Jotul Firelight woodstove heat the house for as little as $1100 a year. Whole house ventilation keeps the air fresh. And a solar domestic hot water system makes showering even more enjoyable.

Pictures: These pictures begin to give a sense of the space and opportunities, but to truly appreciate call Dan at (518) 339-0183 to arrange a visit.
