New Colonial Style House
A 1,400 sq ft ranch house was torn down to make room for this 3800+ sq ft colonial house.
Functional Details:
The house is on public water & sewer, and uses oil for heat and propane for the
cook-top, oven and fireplace, as natural gas is not available. Heating and
cooling are by a hydro-air forced air system with an integrated 80 gallon hot
water storage tank. The house is pre-wired for phone/internet/cable, alarm
and audio systems. There is central vacuum and a radon mitigation system.
The electrical service is 200A, with a redundant external main breaker.
The landscaping has a full irrigation system off a second water meter that
doesn't incur sewer charges. The basement is not finished, but has a
walk-out bulkhead and all utilities are in the same location to maximize
available space. An HVAC trunk for the basement is available off the first
floor zone and plumbing is roughed-in for the addition of a full bathroom.
The exterior is clapboard, with an asphalt architectural shingle roof. The back
yard features a patio off the kitchen and is surrounded by six-foot Arborvitaes
for privacy. The garage is an oversized 2-car with two overhead
remote-controlled doors. There is a circular drive that meets the brick
and granite entry stairs.
