This isn't just new construction, it's a different approach to homebuilding. Located in Parksley, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath Innovation Cottage offers approximately 1,326 square feet of thoughtfully designed, one-level living with energy efficiency incorporated from the ground up.

The construction is where this home really stands apart. Features include a fully conditioned crawl space, full Insul-Stud exterior framing, all-electric heat pump mechanical systems, and a full GAF Energy solar shingle system installed on both sides of the 7/12-pitch roof.

This approximately $30,000 solar system was designed to help offset the home's energy consumption. Wondering what all that technical stuff means? The simple version is this: this home was designed from the beginning with energy efficiency and lower energy consumption in mind.

Inside, the open-concept floor plan features solid-surface countertops throughout, stainless steel appliances, comfortable living spaces and plenty of storage. The primary suite includes a private bath with walk in shower and closet. Even the infrastructure received extra attention, with a brand new septic system.

The home was modularly constructed to stringent building standards, combining modern building techniques with the comfort and finishes expected in today's new construction. From the conditioned crawl space to the Insul-Stud framing and solar shingle roof, this is a home where some of its most impressive features aren't immediately visible. Smart design. Innovative construction. A new way to think about home on Virginia's Eastern Shore.
