Voluntown, Conn. – November 2, 2016 – William Pitt Sotheby’s International Realty announced today that the firm has listed a “green certified” ENERGY STAR® home, built with top quality solar and geothermal systems. The expanded 2010 Cape-style residence, located in the town of Voluntown Conn., is listed with Old Lyme agents Sherri Milkie and MJ DeRisio, and offered at $975,000.
ENERGY STAR® is a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency that helps businesses and individuals save money while protecting the climate through energy efficient tactics. For 23 years, the program has boosted green services, products and practices through effective partnerships, tools and consumer education. All certified ENERGY STAR® homes must feature specific energy efficient performance and prescriptive paths, and require inspections by third-party organizations.
349 Beach Pond Road was constructed using responsible building practices and renewable energy development. Situated on a 60-acre plot of former farmland, the three-bedroom, three and a half-bath house sits approximately 100 feet from the property’s original home’s stone foundation, preserving pastures for future agriculture. Employing energy efficient technologies, the residence contains several ENERGY STAR®-rated features including lighting and thermal efficiency through windows and insulation, as well as implements water conservation, improved air quality and the use of recycled materials. Its interior design is bright and airy, boasting an open floor plan, first floor master suite, and numerous quality mechanicals, craftsmanship and details throughout. The surrounding property, which abuts the Patchaug State Forest, exudes complete privacy, offering opportunities for a private residence, second home, possible development or agricultural property.
“The objective of this green home construction was to keep the cost/value ratio economically practical,” said Milkie. “Clearly a success, the residence is comprised of the highest quality materials, and offers an unbeatable energy-efficient lifestyle in a beautiful country setting.”
“We are proud to represent such an unusual opportunity in town,” said DeRisio. “Its technologies are incredible, and residential possibilities unlimited—a home that encompasses today’s ‘green living’ trend at its finest.”
