1950 W Race Avenue

***Featured in Crains*** Originally built for a designer who prioritizes eco-conscious living, this West Town home combines sophisticated design with environmental responsibility. The exterior is constructed with Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs) that provide superior insulation and energy efficiency. The mix of corrugated steel and cement board is finished with warm-toned paint for a contemporary urban look. An inset front porch made of ipe wood adds an organic touch. The interior design reflects a harmonious blend of materials thoughtfully chosen for their sustainability and beauty. Wide plank solid white oak flooring, porcelain tile, and marble baths exude elegance, while quartz countertops and Leicht walnut cabinetry marry style with eco-friendliness. On the lower level, Shaw carpet tiles are used over radiant heated floors to provide warmth and comfort. The thoughtful layout includes a dining room positioned at the front of the house to maximize natural light from the southern exposure and views of the tree-lined street. On the opposite side of the kitchen with luxury Miele appliances, the living room opens to an ipe wood deck over the garage. During the warmer months, the deck is used as a primary living space. It incorporates the same materials and design as the rest of the home, ensuring a cohesive look and feel. Smart home technology seamlessly integrates into your lifestyle, with smart thermostats, lighting controls, and security cameras enhancing convenience and efficiency. The home boasts heating and cooling systems that provide optimal comfort while minimizing energy usage. Water conservation is prioritized through the installation of low-flow toilets and a rainwater management system, which includes a flood control system and a sump with Aquanot battery backup. Additionally, the house is equipped with energy-efficient LED lighting and an EcoSmart ventless fireplace, enhancing the cozy ambiance while maintaining eco-friendly standards. Outside, sustainable landscaping with native plants and drought-resistant features reduces water usage and supports local ecosystems. This is a home where mindful living and sophisticated design converge, offering an unparalleled living experience that's as eco-conscious as it is exquisite. Make it yours!
