Don't judge a book by its cover because this unique and unconventional property was designed with sustainability and energy efficiency in mind. This home features 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, an updated interior and a functional exterior that takes advantage of nature to help provide heating and cooling. Some of the energy efficient upgrades include: Solar thermal panels to supply underfloor heating and hot water, thorough insulation in walls, subfloors and attic spaces, metal roof to provide reflectivity, new double pane windows, glassed veranda that provides an extra insulating envelope and many other features that can be provided separately. The sellers were able to use this home as a great sustainability project and they are able to produce much of their own food using raised beds, vines and fruit trees. Areas on 2nd floor are lower than 7 feet but it is finished to a high level and included in square footage.
