Legal Description: Con 5 W Pt Lot 24
Zoning: Residential Hamlet
This completely renovated contemporary one-level floor plan is approximately 3,400 square feet including 2 grand rooms, both with propane gas fireplaces plus a new gas fireplace in the kitchen. There is an unconnected gas heater in the work shop for future use by the new owner. Therefore the heating system can be best described as zone heating. Despite the size of the wheelchair accessible building, this well insulated home should have very affordable operating costs for the new owner. Please read on for more details about the insulation in the home.
After you park in the 10-car parking area, you enter the building at the end of the covered entrance through a beautiful steel insulated door with lovely decorative thermopane glass. The large front foyer has gorgeous brand new flooring. To your right is an expansive closet with mirrored doors that runs the full 15 foot length of the foyer and are over 5 feet deep.
As you walk into your 1st grand room with 9 ft ceilings, a combination of dining & living room, you will be awestruck by brand new hi-end wall-to-wall laminate flooring & the handcrafted stone hearth & mantle for the gas propane fireplace. When you glance at the laminate, the quality is so good, you would surely think it is real hardwood. There is a kneewall approximately three feet high by 12 feet long that provides a small dividing line between the living and dining area of the grand room. There are ample windows on the north side of the room & a unique ceiling finish that has to be seen in person to be appreciated-it is beautiful!
The two renovated bathrooms/laundry room are on the east end of the grand room. Bathroom #1 has a beautiful soaker tub, toilet and beautiful vanity and is decorated to the nines. Bathroom #2 is comprised of the laundry area as well as an impeccable shower, toilet and vanity.
The huge second bedroom is located in the northwest corner of this grand room and has a walk-in closet, both with brand new carpeting. Beside the second bedroom is workshop which, if required, could be converted to another main floor bedroom. Next to the workshop is the office, which is currently being used as a guest bedroom, although there is no window. There is a second door that exits into the second half of the building.
As you can see, wow factor applies to all aspects of the interior, especially the kitchen & its new cherry & mahogany cabinetry, brand new flooring and the new gas propane stove. Located next to the dining room, your new kitchen has more than enough space to prepare the food for, pardon the pun, a legion of guests! Have a close look at the bank of ornate drawers-you will be impressed by their origin. Ask us for more details! There is ample light and lots of windows to keep you happy and cheery as you cook.
Just off the kitchen is the large utility room/pantry with its 200 amp breaker service, hot water tank and water softening system.
The spectacular Grand Room#2 has 10 ft ceilings & comprises a huge L-shaped family room & office space. This room is heated with its own gas propane fireplace, creating wonderful ambience. Check out the new overhead lights! During the winter of 2009-2010, the owner created this huge L-shaped family room by making a partition wall for the master bedroom with a walk-in closet. Two independent French doors lead to the back yard from the master bedroom. Spectacular!
Attic insulation is approx: R-40, wall insulation ranges from R-24 in grand room #2 comprising of the family room/grand master bedroom to R-30+ in grand room #2 comprising the living/dining room.

Technical Specifications:
LOT

CONSTRUCTION:
Slab on grade, therefore no basement to flood and no sump pump to worry about!

-Main attic is accessible from a stair case at the far east-end of grand room #1
-Secondary attic over grand room#2 is accessible from a smaller opening in the main attic
-Attic height is approx nine feet at the peak. The entire area is currently used for storage, however future development could be possible
-A small saving on heating could be experience if a large insulated attic hatch was put in place at top of the staircase. This is the ONLY constructive criticism of the author to improve the heat efficiency. Read on and you will understand
-Floor boards are put in place over the superstructure, approx. 2 x 12 inch lumber. Therefore you can walk from one end of the attic to the other over grand room #1, master bedroom, office and both bathrooms
WALL INSULATION IN GRAND ROOM #1 (also know as the living/dining room) as well as many other rooms

HEAT
The primary heat sources comprise 3 propane gas fireplaces one in each grand room and one in the kitchen. The ceiling fans keep the air moving and the heat evenly distributed. Electric baseboard heat is used infrequently in the winter in only three areas, the kitchen & both bathrooms. This heat is used primarily when it is exceptionally cold outside. And we do get a few cold days in January! Another gas heat source, currently unused, is located in the workshop, the latter as mentioned, could be a third possible bedroom.
