Welcome to Hillgarden House! This stunning limestone ranch house sits on a hill in a beautiful, serene neighborhood. From the fall of 2014 into summer 2016, the original Hillgarden House structure was fully updated with many new amenities, updates, and retrofits. See below for a partial list. In the summer of 2016, 400 square feet of additions were completed. This addition added a new master bedroom and master bathroom, along with an in-ground wine cellar that doubles as a fully-secure storm shelter. The room has a 9.5-foot high vaulted ceiling and seven high-end Marvin clad Ultimate Glider windows. There is a Marvin Ultimate French exterior door that opens to a 500 square foot Trex Enhance composite, wrap-around deck. The Trex deck has three Trex Enhance stairways, one which goes down to the beautiful Pennsylvania Bluestone patio that edges the amazing water garden. The flooring in the new master bedroom is PlyBoo bamboo, rated as almost three-times harder than oak floors. The interior entrance door to the master bedroom is a prairie-style, high-end Lemieux interior french wood door. The room has a dedicated wall-mounted Mitsubishi Heat Pump for heating / cooling. The master bathroom is a 6-foot by 8-foot ultra-luxury, Mediterranean-style bathroom. It is appointed with a natural river rock floor, Mediterranean travertine walls, a carved granite boulder vessel sink, and a large Schon freestanding roman tub with a 30-inch tall tub filler. Topping this amazing master bath off is a Kohler Persuade high efficiency, dual flush toilet and a single high-end Marvin clad Ultimate Glider window with privacy glass. The new master bedroom / master bathroom addition is clad on the exterior with LP Smart Lapboard Siding with Diamond Kote finish that resists blistering, peeling and flaking and comes with a 30-year No Fade Warranty, creating a very-low maintenance, long-lasting siding. The backyard is truly the focal point of Hillgarden House. The main attraction is the professionally designed and constructed zen-like water garden. This magnificent water feature has an 18-foot by 18-foot pond with a 37-foot long by 7-foot wide stream channel with multiple waterfalls. This spectacular water garden is bordered by a professionally installed, 200 square foot Pennsylvania Bluestone patio that will last the ages. This patio is edged to the north and east by numerous one-ton slabs of Tennessee outcropping sandstone. Renovations and Update Highlights: - Kitchen fully updated with a high-end quartz countertop, Mediterranean travertine backsplash, a 30-inch glass range hood that vents to outside - New entrance vestibule - New 96.5% Efficient Bryant Furnace and new 92.5% Ducane Efficient Air Conditioner - New curvilinear concrete patio in the front accents the overall look and feel of Hillgarden House. - A number of home automation / security additions - New roof (high-end, 30-year Tamko architectural shingles) - New attic insulation ranging from R49 to R60 - New color-matched aluminum soffits, fascia, and gutters - House was retrofitted with Simpson Strong-Tie hurricane (tornado) tie downs. House now has potential of withstanding winds up to 110 mph - New complete septic system (tank, distribution manifold, and leech field) - A ceiling-mounted 5000w electric heater with built in thermostat was added to garage This house exemplifies the new movement of using ultra high-quality finishes to create stunning, functional, aesthetically pleasing, and luxurious smaller footprint houses. Estimated per square foot cost of this house is $129. This estimate of $129 per square foot exceeds this region's per square foot standard of $70 to $100 per foot squared. The reason is simple. Most homes are low-quality in terms of construction and finishes used. The finishes used and craftsmanship displayed in Hillgarden House far exceed what you can find in most houses these days.
