About this home
Public Remarks: A perfect score. Literally. 157 Jackson earned a 10 out of 10 on the U. S. Dept. of Energy Home Energy Score, with zero recommended energy improvements. That is what a high-performance home looks like on paper ? and comfort is what it feels like in person: no drafts, even room-to-room temperatures, a quiet interior, steady in a Wisconsin January and an August afternoon alike. Then there?s the location: Olbrich Botanical Gardens, Olbrich Park, Lake Monona, the Capital City Trail and the Atwood corridor. And it?s a duplex. Live in the 3BR/2BA main residence ? finished lower level, in-unit laundry, 2-car garage ? and let the private 1BR upper apartment serve as income, in-law suite, studio or office. Both units renovated top to bottom: two kitchens, three baths, refinished hardwoods, new deck, siding, driveway, roof. Owned 4kW solar PV, solar thermal hot water, full envelope insulation, all-new low-E windows, dual-fuel HVAC. Est. annual energy cost $1,487 vs. $3,686 comparable.
