This home was originally located on the site of the Michigan Stadium, and was moved to a nearby neighborhood to accommodate construction. The home was too small for the growing family that loved the neighborhood. The original home was gutted and restored, while the addition was constructed with an ICF foundation, SIP walls and a high-efficiency HVAC system. Built-in cabinets throughout made this Not-So-Big® house open and spacious, yet modest in size with lots of character.

*The HERS Index is a scoring system for a home’s energy efficiency, like an MPG sticker for a motor vehicle. HERS starts with an average home for a point of reference called the “HERS Reference Home” which is valued at a HERS Index of 100. On the other side of the spectrum, the most energy efficient, net zero energy home scores a HERS Index of 0. Each point below the benchmark of 100 represents 1% of gain in energy efficiency.
**An EUI is the energy consumed (Btu) within a building divided by its total square feet. An EUI is a relative measure of how efficient a home is, with a lower number being better.
