Overview

As you drive down the driveway to 76 Davis Rd you will see a two car garage and the impressive solar collector sunroom. The modern home design known as a passive solar earth berm house, was carefully placed in its almost 6 acre lot. Built with energy use in mind the home is partially beneath the ground and keeps cool all through the summer months and warm throughout the winter months. The foundation is wrapped in 8 foam as an extra layer of insulation. The house faces the sun and a vent placed in the sunroom circulates the warm air into the living space. An impressive Russian heater is the main feature of the living room. An evening fire will provide warmth till morning. Enjoy spring, summer and fall on the main deck of the home and sit back and relax on the additional deck and screened gazebo providing a comfy place to grill out and entertain. The property has a private established trail leading you through the many wooded acres. Enjoy a quite stroll through the back woods, while enjoying the deer, wild turkeys, owls and other wildlife. The home could also be used for an rental opportunity for students who are attending UCONN as the school is a short 2 minute drive.
