Fireside Home Construction Model Home

This new model home is being built for our foreman with the intention of building a smaller, super energy efficient home that is very attractive and functional.  It is 1138 S.F. on the main floor and about 800 S.F. in the finished lower level.

9020 Island Lake Road
Dexter, Michigan
48130 

It sits on 3.6 acres at the NW corner of Island Lake Road and Wylie roads, about 1 minute west of downtown Dexter.

As you enter the front door you will come through a nice Timber Frame front porch from Riverbend Timber Framing and that opens to an open great room, dining and kitchen area with a lovely fireplace and cathedral ceiling.  It features a first floor master suite and two guest bedrooms and a full bath on the lower walk out level. It also has a nice powder room and laundry room near the home entrance from the garage.

For energy efficiency it includes an Insulated Concrete Form basement from Advantage, 6” Structural Insulated Wall panels from Insulspan and an insulated ceiling of R51 Cellulose.

Heating and cooling is provided by a (2 Ton- the smallest size they make) Geo Thermal system which also provides about 85% of the hot water when the heat or A/C is on.

From start to finish including landscaping and interior decorating we will complete this project in four months.  Please follow our progress on our "From The Builder" blog.
