350 Summertime Ln, Evansville, IN 47712

Nature, sustainable design, and the simplicity of contemporary form: This custom built home complements the wooded surroundings with the architectural confidence of understated style, and a core design theme centered around sustainability from beginning to end - from the solar film array above, to the bamboo floors, to the grey water cisterns for irrigation and the geothermal below. With the design-build completed by McCullough Design and Elpers Brothers Construction in 2009, the owners pulled their inspiration from the features of the Bruny Island Guesthouse, designed by 1+2 Architecture located in Tasmania, Australia. Here on Evansvilleâs Westside, this homeâs striking recessed entry opens into soaring ceilings, an open living area, and floor to gable glass that brings the outside edge of the wooded five acres into the home. Flanked on one end by the open-concept kitchen - with clean contemporary lines on sleek Fehrenbacher cabinetry and an ample butcher-block bar-seating island - the main levelâs hub of dining and living is anchored on the other end by an interior brick wall and fireplace with glass doors on either side, opening to a covered deck that flows onto the flagstone patio and large-stone fire-pit at the woodsâ edge. Back inside, the wide hall leads to a vestibule at the west end, where sunset views inspire the master suite through soaring ceilings and glass rising to the dormer above. The master bath soothes with his and hers vanities, a deep soaker tub, and fully slate-tiled shower. Slate-tiled laundry room sits off the vestibule between the bedrooms, and a guest room with ensuite privacy is back towards the east end. The basement level boasts a second full open-concept kitchen with bar-seating island, exercise room, his and hers offices, abundant storage, and a built-in media projector and screen display system. Back outdoors, the large, fully finished detached garage is the perfect multi-use space to complement the 5+ acre wooded lifestyle youâve been looking for. Simple in contemporary form, sustainable to its core, and superior craftsmanship in every detail.
