GREENWOOD ADDITION

Renovated Living Room was part of the 1920 addition
The original part of this farmhouse was built in 1890 with hand hewn beams. An addition which became the main part of the house was subsequently built in 1920. The current owners wanted to preserve the character of the home while transforming it into an energy efficient structure. The project was designed by Charles Hendricks of the Gaines Group and overseen by LEAP (Local Energy Alliance Program). Together with spray foam insulation, new replacement windows, on demand water heater, energy efficient appliances and light bulbs the energy consumption dropped by over 50%.
