15th Annual Excellence in Housing Award
Best Single Family Home under 2,000 sq ft
The owners of this single family home came to Glendenning with a basic modular house plan. They had a desire for a retirement home on a single level with an efficient design and energy efficient systems and construction. The two-bedroom ranch house was built on a full basement with a walkout door for a future room.
The basic modular ranch house was enhanced with the addition of a covered entry porch and side raised deck that took advantage of the easterly mountain views. The home also features stained pine board and batten siding, a standing metal seam roof and a stained hemlock entry deck, which gave this basic ranch a quality exterior with a warm country feel.
The home’s efficient rectangular design was complemented with open and closed cell spray insulation, and an energy star boiler and appliances, which achieved a “Five Stars Plus” rating by Efficiency Vermont.
