$450.000-

In durham, a 3 bedroom house is for sale.
This home, known as the Brookhaven House, was a Natural Thermal Storage research project funded by the U.S. Dept. of Energy through Brookhaven National Laboratory. The research and design were carried out by Total Envirnomental Action, Inc. The first Brookhaven House was built in 1979/80 located on the grounds of Brookhaven National Laboratory in Upton, New York/L. I. where it was thoroughly instrumented to monitor and analyze the heating performance. The Brookhaven House is an energy conserving residence that demonstrates how thermal mass materials (a South facing brick wall in the sunspace/greenhouse in this home) can be used to cut heating costs in a conventional single family house in combination with solar energy. If you would like more detailed technical information, please call the listing agent, Cindy Craig, and she would gladly e-mail or fax you a 10 page document about the Brookhaven House. This home is privately situated on a 2.54 acre lot yet is just minutes to Durham center and conveniently located to Wesleyan University in Middletown. As you drive up to the house you are greeted by the front porch, a place for relaxation and enjoyment. There is a good sized foyer with large closet that separates the house from the 2 car attached garage. The spacious living room and dining room are open to each other. The living room features a raised hearth area with a woodstove. This home's average annual oil usage is about 400 gallons without using the wood stove! Let's talk about a good carbon foot print. The kitchen is the heart of the first floor located between all the rooms including the greenhouse. It has a large island with Jenn Aire cooktop featuring inter-changeable units. The family room is open to the kitchen. The sunspace/greenhouse is 8' x 25' and adds an additional 200 sq. ft. of living space which is usable most of the year. It provides a wonderful place to commune with nature. You can step out of the sunspace onto the patio and enjoy the spacious yard with its beautiful plantings and flowering trees and bushes. The first floor also has a large updated full bath with attractive travertine tile floor. Except for the kitchen, baths and the sunspace, all the other floors are beautiful, just refinished, hardwood. The second floor features 3 bedrooms and another recently updated full bath also with travertine tile. To appreciate this home, you must see it in person and experience its calm, airy tranquility. Please call Cindy for an appt.
