This brand new, sustainable dwelling provides indoor/outdoor country living in the heart of the city, ½ block from a major boulevard. The architect designed, contemporary version of a historic Shotgun Camelback house accommodates a modern lifestyle, and provides maximum natural light and ventilation.

The design effectively connects the interior to the outdoors. A generous 6’ opening connects the kitchen to the screened dining porch that is bordered by a lush wall of landscaping. Large casement windows connect the interior to the garden, which is accessed through a stepped sequence of porch, deck, and patio. A large private yard and shipping container/storage shed is at the rear.

Highly weather resistant exterior materials, together with spray foam insulation, insulated windows, a high efficiency 2 phase HVAC system, and 22 solar panels, provide for minimal maintenance and energy costs.

Quality materials, such as strand woven bamboo flooring and porcelain tile are used throughout the interior. Countertops are granite with Moen fixtures, and appliances, are Whirlpool, including stacked Whirlpool Duet Steam front load washer and dryer. All appliances and the HVAC system are Energy Star rated.

The contemporary dwelling, with 4 bedrooms (1 a loft) and 3 full baths, is designed to provide a functional and stimulating living experience for a variety of families. The rich connection between the interior and the lush landscape is unique in the city. The views are private and there is great cross ventilation, making breezy evenings with the windows open a dreamy experience.
