PRICE DROP FROM 149K T0 139K

This unique, architect-designed home is truly one of a kind and is offered at a fantastic price. Its design pulls influence from the fantastic mid-century modern homes of southern California, but brings it up to date with contemporary materials, use of space, and logical placement on the site. Its filled with features not found in most of the "cookie cutters" seen in most builder driven neighborhoods. This is a home that brings function to the forefront, while consuming very little energy.


This new home in Thompson Estates is designed to take advantage of natural light and to minimize the heating and cooling loads throughout the year. With its long axis along the East and West, the main living spaces are afforded over 250sf of South facing glass; all of which are protected with Low E glazing and large four foot overhangs. The South overhangs are designed to allow in sunlight during the Winter, which heats the stained concrete floors keeping the spaces warm during winter nights. They also block sunlight from entering during the summer. There are plenty of windows in every room, making it rarely necessary to need artificial light during the day. The interior paint is Green Seal certified and the CRI+ rated carpet is made 100% from recycled water bottles: all of which are feature Low or No VOCs (volatile organic compounds), which is a plus for people with allergies or other sensitivities.

Thompson Estates is a new subdivision in Southside thats off of Hwy 77. This home sits on a corner lot and will only ever be adjacent to one other home.The current lot next door is vacant, there are no neighbors to the rear, and there is one home next to farmland across the street.
