This Catskills retreat showcases the versatility of a modular home, as its finished lower level consists of 1,500 square feet of additional living space; its design, from the hardwood floors to the high ceilings, is cohesive with the rest of the house, indicative of an initial plan thoughtfully executed.
Efficiency seamlessly blends with comfort in this modular home, which features Mitsubishi hyper heat pumps throughout the house and radiant heated floors in the bathrooms. Mini-splits are a great option for new builds, as they are highly energy-efficient, which can save homeowners a significant amount of money on their energy bills. Additionally, mini-splits offer greater temperature control over traditional HVAC systems, allowing homeowners to set different temperatures in different rooms of the house. They are quiet and unobtrusive, making them a great option for homeowners who value peace and quiet in their living space, as demonstrated by this tranquil home in the woods.
