Imagine living in a home warmed by winter sun and refreshed by summer breezes. Imagine a home that blurs the distinction between indoors and out. Imagine a home that adapts to the multiple requirements of its owners over time, without associating itself with a period of time. Here is a home that is all that and so much more. The design of 250 Old House Lane is exquisite and bears the influence of the late Roger Rasbach, world-renowned architectural designer. The finishes are rich, yet understated, harmoniously honoring the natural surroundings and befitting of a coastal ambiance. While the beauty of what can be seen with the eye is arresting, what should capture ones interest is the fact that the beauty is not just skin-deep. Engineered for safety, this home is built to withstand extreme weather conditions. The post & beam structure is defined by a magnificent system of wooden framing members exposed to the interior. The timbers are connected by pegged mortise & tenon joinery, much like that found in fine furniture. The timbers interact to form a self-supporting structural unit with an unsurpassed ability to withstand inclement weather and the Structural Insulated Panels (SIP) further enhance this structural integrity. Helical (steel screw piles) reinforce traditional wood pilings and provide superior resistance to uplift. The foundation system meets/exceeds compression and tension requirements in coastal regions and contributes to the integrity and longevity of the structure. Customized German-made Wero tilt and turn windows and exterior doors with impact resistant glass provide warmth, comfort, security and long-term peace of mind. Composite slate (MaxSlate) roofing of 50% recycled material captures the beauty & texture of natural slate and carries a 50-year transferable warranty. Vertical & horizontal wire chases are cased with insulation within the structural panels and pre-designed pathways for sprinkler systems minimize pipe exposure. HVAC is closed loop geothermal by Water Furnace, which provides the highest efficiency ratings in the industry, as well as reducing heating and cooling costs significantly. All natural interior products were used to minimize off-gassing and require minimal upkeep and maintenance. All wood is reclaimed, or standing dead tree, or wood from sustainably managed forests. Flooring is of standing dead, longleaf heart of pine. All appliances meet or exceed Energy Star guidelines. Four generous porches (1670sf) and two gathering rooms with guest quarters that are segregated from main living are split over two levels and demonstrate timeless design as well as a sense of scale and place. The home has an elevator with an 8' high cab and a beautiful enclosed timber frame staircase leads to the two separate living quarters. A large fireplace is enjoyed on the second level. Both levels have their own kitchen and laundry facilities. The list of incomparability of this home is extensive, but the universal and enduring appeal is paramount in combination with its location on Dewees Island. Together they provide value and purpose well beyond the homeowner’s lifetime. 250 Old House Lane is simple, open, elegant, enduring, flexible, timeless, distinctive and sustainable: an heirloom to be passed from generation to generation.
