Thinking of a weekend or summer home in the wine country that requires minimal up-keep? This ultra-modern house was designed to be ecologically-sound, thermodynamic, energy-efficient, and requiring minimal maintenance - perfect for enjoying the great indoor/outdoor lifestyle of the Sonoma wine county! And just minutes from the Sonoma town square! The home is made with steel framing and is set on a concrete plinth for thermal mass. There are both winter and summer entry doors on the homes' West side and narrow window vents on the East side for thermally engineered temperature control. The roof is custom designed and made of metal.
Main Level: Enter this unique home onto the main level which features a spacious living room, a large chefs' kitchen with many top-of-the-line appliances and a custom-made hood, a family/dining room, a powder room, plus storage. One immediately notices the open-space floor plan when moving from room to room. Both levels of the home include large, dual-paned floor-to-ceiling windows from which to enjoy the beautiful views of meadows, vineyards, and the eastern hills. The floors are cast-concrete so as to easily be washed down. Also, the floors contain radiant heat and are controlled in three different zones for more effective climate control. At the rear of this level is a spacious, "open air" patio that overlooks the 55 foot long, 2 lane lap pool (with automatic cover) and the guest cottage. The patio can be enclosed using custom designed screens that hang from the Belvedere deck above.
Top Level: The top level of this home contains two separate bedroom suites, plus a 3rd bonus room (legality not warranted). Each of the bedroom suites boast their own walk-out view decks. The two full baths, as well as the powder room on the main level, are made of aluminum and include foot pedal-operated aluminum sinks & showers.
Guest Cottage: Included with this "cutting-edge" home is a separate, new modern guest cottage that includes the same ecological and thermodynamic design as the main home! The cottage features a large bedroom with a full bath, spacious kitchen, family/dining room and patio-deck. Perfect for a caretaker, in-law, or for rental income! The cottage roof has been engineered for a future "roof garden".
Details: Built on nearly 2 3/4 level acres, enjoy ample outdoor parking for you and your guests. The rear of the home includes landscaping that is earth-friendly. This incredible home is located just minutes from the Sonoma Town Square, where one can enjoy the wonderful shops and restaurants of the wine country.
