The upper level has two luxurious master suites, extra large walk-in closets and a 3rd bedroom connected to a private bath. Energy efficiency was a prime goal when designing the house. The owners installed not only triple pane Pella windows but also covered all walls with an inch of rigid form board under the siding. On top all stud cavities are filled with fiberglass batt insulation. The 14 separate heating zones of the in-floor heating system allow precise temperature control in practically every room. In case of sudden drastic outside temperature drops an additional forced air heating system lets the owners boost the heat quickly. A built-in steam humidifier guarantees a comfortable atmosphere during the winter months. And in summer two independent air conditioning systems provide cool air. A large cabin hydraulic elevator runs through all three floors of the home. The screen porch in the back, directly accessible through the family room, offers a comfortable, bug-free sitting area during the summer months.The flooring on the main level and all bathrooms consists of polished 24 x 24 porcelain tiles. This, combined with the in-floor heating provides a warm, pleasant ambiance, especially during the winter months. All windows on the main floor are enhanced by built-in, easy to operate electric blinds, which are inconspicuously integrated into the trim. They provide additional protection against the cold of the winter and the heat of the summer. This elegant, contemporary home offers a feel of high quality and an atmosphere of welcoming openness and understatement. It sits on a perfectly landscaped lot offering panoramic views including beautiful sunrises.
