Fancy an incredibly energy-efficient Hudson Valley passive house on 5+ private acres off a quiet, country road? Well, you're in luck! Be the first to call this custom-built charmer your own, nestled in nature and surrounded by the Berkshire Mountain foothills. Why not escape the chaos of city life and come embrace the tranquility of rural living? A short, private drive winds you past majestic oak trees to this T-shaped, open-plan, super-insulated contemporary with energy recovery ventilation (ERV). Enter through a handcrafted, modern, mahogany front door and a great room receives you on the left with vaulted ceilings and walls of triple-pane windows and doors from which to take in nature in all her seasons. Honed concrete floors feature prominently throughout the home and are radiant-heat ready. Heating and air conditioning are currently covered by high-efficiency, Mitsubishi mini-splits. An open, chef's kitchen offers custom cabinetry, black, matte Corian countertops, and stainless steel appliances. Back off the entry hall to the right, you'll find yourself in the top of the T. The primary bedroom provides peaceful views overlooking the rear yard. A spacious bathroom boasts a two-person shower with floor-to-ceiling subway tile surround and brushed nickel fixtures...along with a wide, quartz vanity and contemporary, lighted mirror to complete. The second bedroom affords windows on two sides facing the front. And a very spacious utility room offers ample space for all the new mechanicals, washer/dryer hook-ups, and additional storage to boot! Conveniently located to the twin, bustling historic town centers of Great Barrington and Hudson (20 and 30 minutes respectively). And if hiking, biking and cross-country skiing are of interest, the wonderful Harlem Valley Rail Trail is a mere stone's throw down the road and provides for miles of exploring, north or south (see photos 17 & 18).
