About this property
3-story Passive Solar Home with hot tub
This is a beautiful custom designed and built passive solar home. With three levels, there's plenty of private and family space. The 6-foot diameter hot tub is located on the bottom floor, lined with windows opening to the woods. There is ample deck space on 2 floors. The living and dining areas open to a brick-floor greenhouse and lots of light! The kitchen, baths and appliances are all modern and fully functional, including Cable TV and Wi-Fi. There are 2 fireplaces--one in the main living room, 1 near the Jacuzzi. Floors are tile and wood, and all rooms are natural wood. Corn Hill and Ballston Beaches (Bay and Ocean) are both about 2 miles away. Pets are permitted - dogs only -- no cats.

About the host
Hosted by Chas Bicking
What makes this property unique
This house was built by Blanche and Charles Bicking who had wide international experiences through their involvement with AFS International Scholarships, The UN Industrial Development Organization, and the Japanese Union of Scientists and Engineers. Their love of the outdoors led to the design of this Japanese inspired all wood house with minimized barriers to the outside, described by some tenants as 'like a big tent in the woods with modern amenities', and 'modern rustic'. Large south facing roof windows allow solar heat to be stored by a floating concrete slab on the first floor, moderating temperature swings, especially in the Spring and Fall. Large deck door screens on the lower level and cupola windows allow natural convective air flow in the summer.
