11 Leonard Bridge Road , Lebanon, CT 06249(New London County)

What do you get when you combine an engineer who has building skills with someone who wants to give Mother Nature a break? The answer is the house at 11 Leonard Bridge Rd. Super energy efficient with a 12 thick foundation and external walls (8 in the addition) and 14 of insulation in the cathedral ceiling. Just 2 cords of wood could heat this house in the winter before the oil furnace was installed. The new in 2017 Buderus furnace supplies radiant heat in the floor on the main level and baseboard heat in the lower level. The roof overhang was designed to bring full sun into the wall of windows on the main level in the winter and shade them from the sun in the summer. This house had an open floor plan and cathedral ceilings before they were 'in'! The oversize windows provide amazing views from every room. The home has many built-ins and custom features to maximize space usage and organization. The raised, mini-office in a 6x6 space is a must see! In addition to the new furnace, the oil tank, lower level windows and garage doors were also new in 2017. New hot water heater in 2013. New roof in 2012. Surround this solid, well-maintained home by a beautiful stone wall on 13 acres and you have a hidden gem in the woods!
