Unique and ultra efficient passive solar home on corner lot in the heart of sunny Prescott! This home needs some updating , but has unlimited potential, including the structural integrity to build an entire second story if desired. The home is designed with sustainability and low utility bills in mind; the southern orientation of the home along with thickly insulated walls and an attached greenhouse/trombe wall warm the house independently of any additional heat source even on COLD but sunny winter days; on cloudy days, the wood stove serves as an alternative heat source for the entire home, so the only heating bills are the cost/labor for wood. To aid in efficient summer cooling, the northern side of the home is constructed partially underground (see photo of back side of property) to keep the house cooler; cool nighttime air is designed to be drawn in through open windows after dark with the aid of a large greenhouse exhaust fan which pulls this cool air through the home all night (and it gets chilly here at night, even in the middle of summer!); then, throughout the day, the thick insulation and thermal mass hold and slowly release the nighttime cool-ness and keep the home comfortable without the need for air-conditioning. Although the pictures do not reflect some of the upgrades we have done to this home, we have added ceiling fans to every room which also aids in summer time comfort. Walking distance to schools, shopping, and medical. Less then a 5 minute drive to downtown. Willow Creek Road's large retaining wall provides extra privacy on the west side of the property (see photos). We have installed a 10x14 metal storage shed on the east side of the property and have added some fill dirt and smoothed out the front yard area as well as the west side of the property in preparation for outdoor gardening/landscaping. In addition to creating the passive solar effects, the attached greenhouse is also perfect for year round gardening. The solar exposure in front of the home would be ideal for outdoor gardening. The one car garage has been enclosed/partially finished and is heated with natural gas but could be converted back into a garage if needed (this garage space is not included in square footage of the home). We have been using this home as a family dwelling and have added a few upgrades here and there since these photos were taken (we are using older photos so that you can see the layout of the home free of our personal belongings). The front entrance/concrete patio area is now open to a lovely and shady fully fenced backyard area that is ideal for children and dogs; we have also installed a medium sized doggie door in the front door entrance. A few faucets have been upgraded and ceiling fans have been added to every room. We have removed some of the kitchen cabinets to allow face to face interaction between household members in the kitchen and dining room areas. An under the sink reverse osmosis water filtration system has been added in the kitchen. We have also added bright color to the paint theme of the home. We were planning on staying here much longer but have recently decided to move to Sedona so our children can attend a more holistic school. We have decided to sell and are willing to work with the right buyer to customize potential upgrades before the closing date. We are willing to paint according to your preferences and can discuss additional upgrade options if you are interested. This could be an amazing opportunity for someone interested in collaborating before the sale of a truly sustainable home that is right in town. Please feel free to reach out to us directly with any questions you have; you are welcome to come visit anytime as long as you understand that we are still using this as our family home until the end of June. If we haven't sold it by then we may choose to do a larger remodel and the price will be adjusted accordingly. Thank you and have a great day!
