This home qualifies for a rate below 6% with Highland Mortgage! Save money with all the energy efficiency and with a great rate! Welcome home to the much anticipated property designed and developed by Atlanta’s own nationally award-winning architect/developer Alex Wu.  Located in the Summerhill neighborhood, this home is complete with sun soaked and intimate interiors, varied outdoor spaces, and an energy efficient design unlike any other home on the market. If you are serious about reducing your carbon footprint, this house is for you. There are no carbon burning utilities in the home except for your Vermont Castings wood-burning stove, which can double as an emergency heating source.  The $23k solar panel array on the perfectly pitched roof will be installed by Creative Solar this month.  Already have an EV? No problem. The home is pre-wired for your electric vehicle charging outlet, located on the front corner of the home.  Designed with energy efficiency in mind, you’ll appreciate the EnergyStar appliances and the insulated windows and doors. The exterior walls were even insulated to exceed local building codes. In addition to high performing heating and cooling units, most rooms throughout the home have two operable windows on different walls to allow cross breezes. Limited windows on the north façade help to reduce energy loss in winter months. In addition, the 3-story home was designed to passively flush the air: in temperate seasons where the days are hot and the nights are cool, a window on the first floor and the third floor skylight work together to allow a stack effect that pushes hot air out of the top of the house while pulling cool air from the first floor.  Inside and out, this house has space for you and your favorite people. The first floor living room opens onto a pea gravel patio that doubles as an oversized outdoor living space. If you want a more private outdoor space, head up to the 3rd level and step onto the roof terrace to enjoy your greenspace in the sky, watch a sunset or catch views of the undulating green-canopied streets of Summerhill.  One of the many delights of this home is the multi-functionality of the spaces so that you can tailor the rooms to fit your needs today and in the future. The primary suite is located on the private top floor, however, the 2nd story has two secondary bedrooms that could also work well as a primary bedroom.  Landscaping: Don’t be fooled by the minimal landscaping. The front and rear yards have been thoughtfully designed with a pea gravel patio and parking area that will capture and hold more than 1” of Atlanta rainfall, reducing runoff from the property. Parking:  One parking pad in front of the home is all you need when you have all that Summerhill has to offer just a steps from your door. Location: The property is just a few streets away from Publix, shops, restaurants, GSU stadium, and ¼ mile away from a future MARTA BRT (bus rapid transit) line. Convenient access to I-75/I-85 and I-20. 1 mile west of Grant Park and 13 minutes north of the airport.
