Look no further if you value a healthy home, energy efficiency, aging in place and low maintenance living. Acorn Glade, an award-winning all electric Passive House designed by internationally recognized Tom Bassett-Dilley Architects, was designed with these ideals. This home exemplifies exceptional comfort and efficiency, with every detail carefully designed to enhance sight, sound, temperature, air quality, and the thoughtful use of space. As the architect aptly describes it, the home is "modestly sized, lovingly detailed." The materials, colors, and form were inspired by native Illinois wildlife and history. Intentionally placed windows, doors, and sight lines facilitate seamless indoor-outdoor living. The Main Level features the kitchen, dining room, dry bar, living room, full bathroom and family room, deck, covered patio, and screened porch. The Family Room was designed to become a primary suite should a main level primary bedroom be desired. The Second Level features four bedrooms, a full bathroom, laundry alcove, screened sleeping porch, a small deck among the rooftop garden, and the option to build a third full bathroom. There is approximately 1,800 sq ft of interior living space with more than 3,200 sq ft of combined indoor and outdoor living spaces. Acorn Glade used "no-added-formaldehyde panel materials, no-VOC, non-toxic paints, and Greenguard certified sealants, caulks, and adhesives were used along with a continuous demand-controlled ventilation system to provide superior air quality" according to Bassett-Dilley. The fenced backyard can accommodate an ADU, outdoor playset, fire pit, etc., while the front and side yards feature raised garden beds, native gardens, stone pathways, and native turf grass. The attached carport has NACS charging port, storage, and accommodates two large electric vehicles. The home is on a quiet private road, has sight lines to nature at the Belmont Golf Course. This very QUIET, private property is blocks from the Belmont underpass, the Belmont Metra BNSF train stop, and award-winning Puffer Elementary School. Public water. This is a rare opportunity to live in a very special home. Move confidently.
