This energy-smart home is crafted for those who value comfort, quality, and a lighter footprint. Built by Brunswick Sustainable Living, The Flex Plan combines forward-thinking design with natural materials and smarter systems that work in harmony with the environment. The home's Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs), manufactured locally by EcoPanels of NC, deliver superior R-24 insulation (vs. code minimum R-15) for exceptional comfort, strength, and energy savings year-round. EcoPanels use a proprietary closed-cell polyurethane foam created in part from post-process sugar beets—an innovative use of renewable byproducts similar to the insulation technology trusted by ''Yeti'' and ''Igloo.'' The result is a shell so well-sealed and strong, you'll feel the difference in every season—and in your monthly utility bill. Recent upgrades reflect the builder's commitment to quality and longevity: durable composite porch decking, PVC trim for lasting weather resistance, and a NuvoH2O Pro 5000 whole-home water filtration system that helps prevent scale buildup and supports better water quality. (Buyers who enroll in AutoShip will even receive their first set of replacement filters, courtesy of the builder.), 175 mph wind roof rating and more features than we can cover here. Inside, enjoy quartz counters, solid-surface shower walls, a high-efficiency HVAC system with fresh air intake, and encapsulated crawl and spray foam attic spaces that promote healthier indoor air and a lower power bill. Thoughtful, drought-tolerant landscaping preserves the natural canopy and reduces water use while enhancing curb appeal. Optional oversized 16' × 24' one-car garage available. Adjacent .24-acre lot also available for those who'd like more space or future flexibility. This is smart coastal living with a conscience—built stronger, breathing easier, and designed for those who believe sustainability should feel as good as it looks.
