Welcome to 1220 Rice Rd in the desirable town of Elma. Designed by an award winning architect, this gorgeous new build 3 bed, 2.5 bath home fuses mid-century modern design with the latest in cutting edge building science to create a stunning & sustainable home. Situated on a private 2.1 acre lot and accessed by a shared driveway. Step inside this model, the Varnsen, and immediately be welcomed by nature with a large window that frames the fruit tree in your private courtyard. To the right of this grand entry is your large fully custom kitchen, dining, and living room, separated by a striking stone fireplace. Back across the entry is your private living space that contains your luxurious primary suite, complete with a large walk in shower, soaking tub, and dual walk in closets. Two additional bedrooms, a full bath, and generously sized laundry room complete this wing of the house. On the lower level, you will find an additional 711sqft of finished living space with large daylight windows, and the unique ability to build-out the unfinished 1, 897sqft in any way you desire. The Varnsen is all about flexing our understanding of clean, rational geometries while still having a little fun. A stone intersection defines the entry, framing nature and acts as a divider between the public and private volumes. This same stone element carries through to the central fireplace, anchoring the main living space and setting the tone for a warm, inviting atmosphere. Large windows, subtle curves, framed arches, and an earthy-yet-funky palette bring a touch of warmth and personality, creating impressive moments throughout. To top it all off, the massing frames a serene courtyard with a fruit-bearing tree – a quiet, contemplative space that invites a connection to nature. Estimated completion: January 2026.
