The first glimpse of Innovation House as you enter the grand circular drive does not disappoint. The home’s European style starts at the property line with stone pavers and a large bronze finished mailbox by Frontgate. The exterior of Innovation House is striking: each of the front rooms’ tall ceilings adds interest to the roof line. Stone facing and window trim painted to coordinate with the stone’s warm hues adds depth and interest. What you don’t notice right from the start is the energy savings provided by Innovation House’s efficient and cleverly hidden mechanical systems like the 21 seer, solar-ready HVAC units behind the house and recycled rubber landscape mulch. Even though Innovation House’s 11,000 square foot interior is magnificent, the graceful front archway and stained French entry doors create a welcome that beckons.
