Grant Street Passivhaus Green Build in Historic York District WRITTEN BY NICOLE KIMBERLING

ELLINGHAM’S DOWNTOWN NEIGHBORHOODS might not
be the first place you’d look for a new high-performance home. However, this rebuild snuggles right into the existing historic neighborhood perfectly, providing its residents with the comfort of modern style while maintaining easy access to the vibrant downtown scene. Living right in the heart of the city can be noisy, so this home features extensive soundproofing, including triple-glazed windows and exterior cork insulation to keep it quiet on days when it’s time to relax, recharge, and retire. Speaking of retirement, this house is designed for aging in place, featuring a separate mother-in-law suite with ADA features, plus a discreet exterior ramp to increase accessibility.
