This home was built by Norm Nixon, who is a quality builder of fine homes in this area. He only builds a couple of homes a year and is highly recommended and highly sought after.

Foundation made using BlueMax Styrofoam Blocks, which provides a superior insulated foundation. The basement has no water problems as a result of the foundation quality and the slope of the land.

The house was insulated and sealed to R2000 standards but was not tested as a R2000 home (the house would not qualify because recycled materials were not used).

There are 10 foot ceilings on the main level and the upper level. The great room is 24.5 feet high.

Efficient radiant in-floor heating system. A surprisingly small electric boiler supplies the hot water for the radiant pipes. All three levels of the house are heated with radiant heat.

Windows are made by Bowmanville Window and are Low-E, Argon Gas filled windows. Most of the windows that open are casement windws, which are the most efficient type.

6.5X10 feet walk-in pantry located adjacent to the kitchen, with floor to ceiling shelving on all walls, space for a chest freezer, power outlets and storage for all small kitchen appliances.

"Zero clearance" style wood burning fireplace in the great room. It has an internal blower is controlled by a switch.

Reverse Osmosis Water Purification System that consists of a sediment filter, three activated carbon filters, and a reverse osmosis membrane fliter.

This home has an air exchanger and has cable, satalite and high speed internet is available in area.
