Tired of looking at or living in cookie cutter homes? Take a look at this super energy efficient Acorn Deck house. The 4 bedroom, 3 bath home, which has a 1975 mid-century modern post-and-beam design was built in 1987 by a nuclear engineer who worked in the area. It features beautiful exposed Douglas fir beams and tongue-and-groove vaulted ceilings and is at home in the wooded landscape close to the Battle Creek and the Patuxent River. The company, still in existence as Acorn Deck House, describes the design this way: ?Deck House offers an efficient post and beam building system with exposed structure, making a powerful statement of beauty, strength and function. Floor to ceiling glass frames connect with the natural environment to create a feeling of living in the outdoors. Interior spaces flow freely, accented by a rich combination of natural woods. Deck House is a quiet statement about one?s own self-confidence ? a home of relaxed elegance in perfect harmony with the natural world, inside and out.?New roof, new 6 inch gutters, new super energy efficient Geothermal heating and cooling system, new super efficient water heater, new exterior paint, all LED lights,, very good condition, very large split-foyer home has "mid-century modern" style charm and lots of big picture windows.
