This 1963 home at 23 Crossbar Road is a remarkable opportunity to be nearly off-grid, energy-wise, while living in the popular Westchester village of Hastings-on-Hudson. The home has a certified Pearl Gold rating and a zero carbon footprint, meaning its owners can be free of energy bills. Originally designed by well-known architect Harry Wenning, the renovated home, on the market for $1,999,000, has modernist charm and plenty of contemporary comforts.
The home’s architect was inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright and favored ecologically focused design; the home’s newest incarnation is certainly in keeping with his vision.
Sustainable features include solar power, geothermal heating and cooling, double-pane windows, insulated roofing and walls, two backup batteries, and an EV charger.
Inside the five-bedroom home, sunlight fills every corner. A wood-burning fireplace adds warmth after dark. A custom kitchen by Kerf design frames a suite of Miele appliances and plenty of storage. The kitchen opens onto a large great room and sun-soaked deck.
On the top floor, three bedrooms include a spacious primary suite with a custom walk-in closet. A luxurious renovated bath boasts a Japanese soaking tub.
On the lower level are two more bedrooms and a full bath. Also on this floor are a gym, studio space, and a laundry room.
The home is surrounded by a yard for plenty of outdoor living space. Surrounding the grounds are mature trees and shrubs for privacy and shade.
