One of Paonia’s most distinctive green homes, thoughtfully designed for sustainable, low-cost living, is available now. High ceilings, featuring contemporary ceiling fans, windows on every side and a clerestory provide natural light and airflow throughout so that the home feels much larger than its efficient 1,005 square feet. The open living area is bright and inviting, with radiant heated floors, floating hardwood bamboo flooring, ceramic tile bath, pine ceilings, solid-wood doors, and designer lighting, including newer dimmable canister lights and dark-sky exterior fixtures. In addition, the finishes include gorgeous kitchen cabinetry, low-emittance EverClear windows with insulating premium Hunter Douglas blinds, and stainless steel top-of-the-line Bosch appliances. A large private patio with beautiful flagstone, custom professional landscaping, and flowering and fruit trees creates a lovely, private outdoor living space. Mountain views add to the magic of this home in a dark-sky town. Built in 2018, this 2-bed, 1.5-bath home boasts a metal roof and gutters, state-of-the-art high-insulation 18” thick pumice-crete walls and passive-solar orientation which maintain a remarkably comfortable interior year-round. A community solar array, the largest private photovoltaic bank in the county, provides energy-efficient power to the home and its radiant in-floor heat which means low energy costs for you. It also powers a Level 2 EV charge station. The full-size LG washer and dryer, walk-in shower, powder room, and large pantry create ease for everyday living and entertaining. The home has an attached carport with access from quiet Vista Drive, and a secure storage closet, guest parking, and exclusive use of an additional covered parking space.
