Listing Description

Welcome to 11 Keating Drive - known as Elora's " Friendly Home "! As part of a nation wide builder environmental competition in 1995, well known local builder James Keating Construction was the WINNER amongst 35 other homes built in Ontario - making Elora the original home of Ontario's friendliest and healthiest house! An R-2000 house definitely ahead of its time.The purpose of the competition was to design homes for environmentally-friendly living and produce a house that is much healthier for its occupants and the environment. From the construction process to the materials to the features and design, Keating built a very special home indeed. (We have an 80 page report on site for prospective buyers.) This BUNGALOW offers over 1835 square feet of finished living space including finished lower level. Two bedrooms plus den up, and another bedroom down. Vaulted ceiling and gas fireplace in living room. Walk up from lower level workshop to rear yard. Two car garage. Covered rear patio. 12 foot by 20 foot soft side garage out back. Very private treed and landscaped rear yard; the nighttime lighting on the trees out back is a nice touch. Too many features to list here, but I want to highlight a few more interesting details. Including the 5000 litre underground rainwater collection tank to water your lawn/garden in an environmentally friendly way. An emergency generator. Automated awnings to help keep the home cool in summer. Hydronic furnace with ducting system that allows you to control separate temperature settings on main and lower levels. And one more great feature: since this is a corner lot, there is actually a secondary gated entrance off of Colborne street into the rear yard should you have an RV or other recreational toys. Very convenient. Book your private showing today to see Elora's award winning "Friendly Home".
