Description
Home is where the heart, spirit, design, and energy efficiency come together. Nestled in the trees, but with enough elevation to see the sun set over the White Mountains, (Mt. Washington is front and center!) is your new perfect home. Built and owned by the Executive Director of the Energy Efficient Building Association at the Technology Center of the University of Southern Maine, this home was well ahead of its time when built and has stood the test of time as it is have been meticulously maintained...Home is where the heart, spirit, design, and energy efficiency come together. Nestled in the trees, but with enough elevation to see the sun set over the White Mountains, (Mt. Washington is front and center!) is your new perfect home. Built and owned by the Executive Director of the Energy Efficient Building Association at the Technology Center of the University of Southern Maine, this home was well ahead of its time when built and has stood the test of time as it is have been meticulously maintained by its owners. The home was built using similar methods and thoughtful design as the energy efficient live/work/garage building next door that was featured in Fine Home Building Magazine in 1986. Creating a marriage of state-of-the-art structural (double-wall construction) and thermal design that allowed for comfortable living was the goal, and it was certainly achieved. Inside you will find an open, airy living and dining space, efficient eat-in-kitchen with custom built cherry cabinets, a sun-room for relaxing and enjoying the westerly views with access to the elevated deck, a master bedroom with a large dressing area, that also has access to the elevated deck, a second bedroom, an office/studio that could double as a guest room, and a workshop space in the basement, an energy efficient Viessman boiler and central air as well. The exterior is white cedar siding, known for its long term quality. It is time to pass on this wonderful home to its next steward, to be enjoyed for years to come. Sited just outside of the center of Gorham, you will find privacy and a sense of the natural world, while being minutes to town, the university, and the amenities of Portland.
