Flexible, functional, and hyper-efficient, Rocky Bay can serve as a year-round home or vacation dwelling for any number of different family sizes and configurations.
Its central service core divides two private bedroom wings – one a primary bedroom with ensuite and walk-in closet alongside a second bedroom that could be used as an office or gym, the other a third bedroom with its own full bath, perfect for kids, guests, or extra hobby space.
Both wings meet at the great room, which boasts a large kitchen with island seating and walk-in pantry plus a sun-filled living and dining area. A three-season screen porch extends off the main living space, providing extra hangout space for the summer and shoulder seasons, and a covered patio with sliding doors is the perfect place for an outdoor meal and barbeque.
The covered front entrance opens into a large foyer with closet space and adjacent laundry room for quick and convenient shedding of wet gear and muddy feet/paws!
Rocky Bay is easily adapted to a range of sites and orientations, making a great starting point for anyone looking to build their dream Passive Home.

- Covered porches at front and back entries.
