Welcome to Durango's first All-Electric, Zero Energy Ready neighborhood, located only 1 mile from downtown and built by Sutter Homes, one of Durango's premier eco-friendly builders. This unit is currently under construction with the framing completed and interior work to begin soon. It is ready to walk through and experience the floor plan in person! In addition to the upscale finishes and energy efficient construction, these homes also feature a pre-approved ADU [Accessory Dwelling Unit] which owner occupants can rent out to offset part of the mortgage payment on the home. The main living area of the home encompasses the 2nd and 3rd floors and is roughly 1,772 SF with 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. The primary bedroom is located on the main/2nd level, with the guest bedrooms on the upper level. The approximate 600+ square foot ground level space features its own entry with separate lock-off from the main residence and can also serve as the 4th bedroom, media room, office, or other bonus space. FINISHES: Some features include solid surface quartz counters, "dusk cherry" waterproof LVP flooring, Kylo lighting fixtures in the kitchen, Samsung appliances, Boelon luxury kitchen sink, and a built-in towel warmer in primary bath. Full finishes book available by request. SAVINGS: Taxes & Closing Costs - Compared to a similarly priced Twin Buttes home, Rosemary Lane Homes do not have city or metro district transfer fees [resulting in a 2%, or $25k+, savings at closing], and currently boast about a 60% lower tax rate [40 mills on Rosemary versus 110 mills in Twin Buttes]. ENERGY EFFICIENCY: All homes have a HERS rating of Zero with the included 6KWh solar system, every fixture in the house is Water Sense rated, every window and appliance are Energy Star rated, every room contains air conditioning and MERV 18 rated air filtration (similar to hospital standards). The walls are rated to R-29 and the ceilings are R-49 with better-than-code insulation comprised of wool and low-VOC foam insulation, thermal breaks in the walls, insulated concrete forms in the foundation, highly energy-efficient vinyl composite argon-filled highly efficient windows, and an exterior R-6 zip rigid enclosure system in between the siding and insulation/drywall. ABOUT THE BUILDER: Sutter Homes is known in the area for building high-performance, low-energy homes that prioritize building sciences, reducing your carbon footprint, optimizing indoor air quality, and providing the highest quality overall home health.
