This new three-level house along the Connecticut River is both in a 100-year flood zone as well as within a high wind area, thus requiring flood/wind resistant construction. The lower level accommodates cars and boats with access to the dock. A double stair system leads up to the main level which has a generous open plan for public areas, while the private upper level has two bedroom suites. The exterior form has a primary gable with a quad system of secondary cross gabled dormers containing the bedroom suites. An extensive deck at the main level accommodates outdoor relaxation, while the two covered upper decks provide private outdoor spaces. This 1,586 s.f. energy-efficient home promises to provide many years of comfortable living and recreation.
