THE SIMPLEST PATH TO A NET-ZERO HOME​

Columba

Everyone’s Favorite House

This modern farmhouse takes the comfortable, relaxed farmhouse style to a whole new level. With a spacious master suite on the 1st floor and wrap-around porches sheltering you from the elements as you relish the view in any direction, this home will become your forever home. 

A large party kitchen, plentiful clerestory daylight, amazing views, and exposed beam work make this home a stimulating place to live. Yet with the master suite nicely secluded down a private corridor, this home will also become your own personal retreat. The 2nd-floor of the home is open and awash with light during the day, and, like all clerestory spaces, it gives terrific nighttime views up to the stars.
