Serene, tranquil and private setting. Fully-updated single family 2-story home on over a 1/2 acre located at the end of the dead end road, which backs to State owned-green acres (rear) and Township open space (side yard). Home offers 4 bedrooms, 2 ½ baths, kitchen, dining room, living room, mud room, and a bonus room off the living room. A detached 2 ½ car garage and shed are also located on the property. Over $160K on additions (deck in 2005, 2nd story addition in 2008-2009) and renovations including a 500 sq ft, low maintenance composite wood (Trex) deck with built in benches, updated kitchen, bathrooms, high ceilings (9ft) throughout, standing seam metal roof with solar system, and kid’s playground with rubber mulch (added in 2013). Owners sourced and integrated low VOC and green building products as part of additions and renovations including use of natural stone in many areas of the home and more energy efficient systems for heating (high efficiency boiler) and cooling (heat pump). The standing seam metal roof offers additional energy savings as it reflects solar radiant heat (reduces cooling costs by 10-25%), will not spark or ignite during a wildfire or lightning strike, can sustain higher wind gusts than traditional asphalt shingle roof, lasts 3-5 times longer than traditional asphalt shingle roof (up to 70 years), and is 100% recyclable at the end of its useful life. The 4.48KW solar system is owner-owned and not a leased system. This means the solar renewable energy credits (SRECs) earned (approximately 5 per year) can generate untaxable income, currently $1200 a year. The solar panels are high quality Sharp panels (installed in 2009) and warrantied for 25 years. The system also provides a reduction in electric costs through net metering. Inside, the house is open, airy, and ideal for entertainment. Large wood casement Anderson windows throughout and Velux skylights on the second level provide lots of natural lighting. Solid wood doors and hard/resilient flooring throughout. The home was built to reduce electric consumption without compromise on quality of material or creature comforts. A built in ironing board and central vacuum are also centrally located. A full attic, accessed by pull down stairs, and an unfinished partial/crawlspace basement provides tons of extra storage. The yard offers many specimen trees such as flowering cherries, golden deodar cedar, Japanese maple, red oak, redwood and other flowering trees to provide a variety of colors and textures throughout the seasons. An espalier pear tree is tucked along the side of the house amongst other shrubs and flowering perennials (irises and peonies). A fully fenced large ornamental/veggie garden has as established strawberry patch, blueberry bushes, and a green fig tree. A wild mulberry tree is also located on the property.
