The unhurried house is a deeply sustainable 1745 sq. Ft. Wolfe island farmhouse, now at the back end of a meticulous six-year transformation. Used by retrofit canada as a case study, original and new materials have been blended in a remarkable and meticulous net-zero-ready, passive standard rebuild. The result lands like a salt-fresh oceanfront cottage married to a post and beam interior, and demonstrates a rare blend of remarkable patinas, wabi-sabi character and exquisite custom detail. A grand entrance leads to a bright, open-concept living space and a chef's kitchen with a 10-foot island and concrete countertops. Upstairs are two bedrooms (each with sinks), a clawfoot tub in the primary bedroom, a heated-floor bathroom, and a spacious loft that can serve as a third bedroom, studio, or creative space. Built under the direction of an energy engineer, this high performance house has a steely focus on both efficiency and aesthetics, the house features r35 continuous exterior insulation, airtight construction, german-engineered hrv ventilation, a rainwater harvesting system, two 12k low-temperature heat pumps, a 560-lb italian cast iron cookstove, double-glazed lepage wood windows, brand new septic system, a new 12-foot shore well with endless water, and a 200 amp panel. Phew! (and that's not even mentioning the hand carved wooden sinks with tiny portuguese brass taps, or the 150-year-old windows installed in creative places). The property offers expansive lake ontario views, wraparound porches, a covered pergola with twinkle lights, a greenhouse and raised beds, flagstone walkways and rock walls, and all of it at the heart of a happening, community-minded island village just two blocks from the free 16 minute ferry to downtown kingston.
