Description

Own a piece of green building history in the heart of Morehead Hill neighborhood. Built in 1974, this unique first passive solar house in Durham, possibly NC, features a near zero carbon footprint. Living spaces flood with sunlight in the winter and are adequate shaded in the summer months. Low maintenance brick floors store heat for winter nights. Main floor boasts open living, dining, kitchen and owners bedroom suite. Vaulted ceilings extend to the upper loft, two bedrooms and a sunny flex room with manufactured white oak flooring throughout second floor. Carefully placed windows oriented to the outdoors making the home a private oasis. Two lots total .53 acres. Delight in a large vegetable garden and established fruit trees including Asian persimmon trees, fig, apple and pomegranate trees. Enjoy entertaining on the private deck overlooking the property or on the large outdoor courtyard with its long dining table. Photovoltaic electric, net metered, (24 panels) roof mounted solar generator provides almost all the electricity for an entire year for the house and charging one electric vehicle. Annual electric costs for 2023/34 were @$125. Fabulous workshop! Almost all building materials of the house are local to North Carolina, including southern yellow pine, bricks, and metal roofing. Truly green, truly magical!Show Description
