Enjoy this large lot and private backyard in an almost rural setting only minutes from downtown. Situated at the end of a quiet residential (no thru) street, in a good neighborhood. Undeveloped, treed, hillside opposite (to the north). Trans Canada Trail, Similkameen River, and Tulameen River nearby for interesting hikes, sandy beaches, gentle walks and beautiful scenery. Enjoy the freedom and comfort of worry free living, with all the advantages of 2X6 construction (R20 andR40 insulation) plus lowE Milgard windows ( most older homes have only R12 insulation, at the most, and many have no insulation in the walls at all, plus older type windows which adds up to increasingly large heating and cooling bills). This beautiful little house is naturally cool in summer, and using the small energy efficient (CSA, EPA, WETT cert. and professionally installed) wood stove. There is no heating bill. Let the savings help pay the mortgage! Enjoy living in this healthy, non-toxic environment with quality materials chosen to reduce or eliminate all harmful off-gassing, and with an emphasis on local or Canadian products used wherever possible. eg. Board and batten siding, T+G flooring, interior trim and shelving all locally milled, no press-board and no strand-board except exterior sheathing. Canadian made non-formaldehyde insulation, no VOC paint, solid wood interior doors, Canadian made drywall etc,etc. Also it is worth noting that this design has extra wide headers at all openings, which makes adding an extra room at some point an easy option. Enjoy all the benefits of new construction without paying GST. Enjoy being close to the river but well above the flood zone and water table which = no sump pump and no worries. Enjoy having a big garage/ shop, with lots of room for whatever you need. Wired for 220 and partially finished. There is too much to list! If you are looking to reduce your "footprint" or you bills, while adding to your comfort, convenience and security, this may be just the home for you.
