Experience year-round comfort, energy efficiency, and panoramic views of the Hamilton hillside in this uniquely designed Passive Solar contemporary home. Expansive south-facing windows flood the interior with natural light, capturing warmth during the cooler months, while carefully designed roof overhangs provide shade from the high summer sun. The tiled floors help regulate temperature, retaining heat in winter and keeping cool in summer, while strategically placed vents draw in cool air and exhaust warmer air during the warmer months. The open floor plan with a central kitchen and dining area creates the heart of this home and a natural gathering place. A bright living room sits on one side, with a cozy family room on the other, complete with a pellet stove. The first floor also offers two full baths and laundry. Upstairs, you will find three bedrooms, each with their own beautiful view. A mudroom connects to the attached two-car garage, adding everyday practicality. Step outside onto the expansive south-facing deck and take in the peaceful views of the garden and eight private acres. Set back from the main road, this property offers both privacy and tranquility, all while being just minutes from Colgate University and the charming Village of Hamilton.
