The joy of living in extraordinary surroundings with this architectural master piece with towering ceilings, exposed beams and floor to ceiling glass make a powerful statement of beauty, strength and function. Designed by DC architect, Travis Price, with his signature birch ceilings and use of copper. Broad expanses of glass soar dramatically, framing the outdoors in vivid detail. Interior spaces flow freely, accented with slate and copper. Passive solar, steel construction, dramatic heights, complete with solar sail. This home was designed to maximize passive solar energy with oversized soffit which allows the doors to be open while it rains. Enjoy the sights and sounds of the rain dropping into the rain basins. And a symphony of sound is created when rain water rushes off the solar sail and from the gutters to the waterfall basins below. Floor to ceiling glass allows the natural world in and and the feel of being outdoors. Gorgeous views in every direction pastoral and mountain views. Hotwater radiant floor heat also heats the car pad, the entrance area, and the back patio for ease of living. The sail is perfectly aligned for viewing the equinox and solstice moons. Rooms are positioned for cooling shade and warming summer sun. Most of the windows open for cross venting. The home is built into the hillside as part of the passive solar design maximizing energy savings. Universal design and detail will allow for aging in place and encourage independence through possible life changes.
Roof has been replaced and the hotwater has also been replaced. The pool heater is not working. The septic has been inspected and pumped. There are also a water test and pest inspection in the documents. There are cracks in a few of the panes of the sail. There are also few windows that appear to have lost their seal. House is being offered “AS IS”. This home has been loved and well maintained as I am sure is visible to the discerning eye. The attention to detail and quality of materials is outstanding. This home will stand the test of time.
