Life is different outside the box- sustainability & efficiency abound! Tucked in The Willows on 1.3 acres, this distinctly Deltec home offers solitude, natural beauty, and a level of performance few homes can match. Built to perform, the home carries Energy Star certification, a HERS 65 rating, and NC HealthyBuilt Home Silver certification. Passive solar design works with the sun to keep the home comfortable yearround, and instant hot water adds everyday convenience. Deltec homes are also built to be hurricane-ready. The round shape, radial roof and floor truss systems, material excellence, and the critical connections tying the home together and to the foundation offer an inherently resistant structure to high wind and seismic forces. The open main level feels seamless and intentional, with a natural sense of flow and tranquility throughout. The kitchen features maple cabinetry, quartz countertops, and KitchenAid Energy Star stainless appliances. In the living room, a Mendota direct-vent gas fireplace with a concrete surround anchors the space. A wall of windows and doors carries the kitchen and living area out to an expansive deck, where elk, bear, and deer are frequent visitors. Downstairs, the beautifully finished Superior Walls basement expands your living and entertaining possibilities. Private guest quarters welcome visitors, a walk-out family room gathers around an Isokern fireplace, and a bonus room is ready to become a media room or wellness retreat. Pre-inspected, well maintained, and ready for its next owner. See the extensive features list for full details.
