Step into a home where innovation meets tranquility - this is one of two underground homes built in Morristown! Designed by a team of University of Michigan experts and brought to life by its original owner, Dr. James Ford-a nuclear physicist, professor, and artist-this extraordinary residence is a masterpiece of energy efficiency, durability, and aesthetic beauty! Built to withstand the elements, this berm/earth-sheltered house features 8'' thick concrete exterior walls and a 12'' thick Trombe wall on the southern-facing front, working in tandem with dual Carrier and Trane HVAC systems and earth tubes to dramatically reduce utility bills. Natural daylight floods the home from both sides, highlighting the breathtaking atrium with an indoor pond, fountain, and mature tropical philodendrons, creating a truly unique and must see serene paradise inside this eco friendly home! The main living area offers three bedrooms, two full bathrooms, a sunroom, dining and living spaces-all on one level. Ceramic tile flooring, natural stone interior walls, and cedar accents. Spandeck concrete overhead supports and reinforced construction make this home virtually impervious to severe weather. Upstairs, above the two-car garage, discover a private apartment complete with a bedroom, living room, full kitchen, and bathroom, with sliders opening to the lush 1.5-acre grounds. Extensive daylilies, specimen plantings, and thoughtful landscaping enhance the sense of privacy, all approached via a charming cobblestone driveway. Additional features include multiple washer/dryer hookups, ceiling access to plumbing and electrical systems, and a sprinkler system in the atrium-blending convenience with luxury. This home is truly a must-see for those seeking a harmonious blend of science, art, and nature. Schedule your private showing today to experience this spectacular Morristown gem.
