This unique, three split level, newly built, modern home is available year round and looking for a long term renter! This stunning architectural home boasts green construction with bamboo flooring, and although the house is new, it was built with little to no formaldehyde.

A few steps down will take you to the sunken living room with lounge seating and a glass door that takes you out to the backyard. Cable or satellite TV is not offered but there is a flat screen TV with DVD player.
A few steps up will take you to the bedroom and bathroom corridor. There are three lovely bedrooms: the master suite has a king bed with full bathroom. The bathroom has a shower stall and separate tub. Two other delightful bedrooms, one with a queen sized bed and another with two twins: both with its own full bath bathroom. One has a tub/shower combo and the other a shower only. All the bed mattresses are made from natural organic latex and have cotton/wool covers.
There is an office on the next level up. The office also has a queen blow-up mattress, if needed. The lower level/basement is light and airy and has a delightful playroom with another glass door which takes you outside. There is an Stereo turntable with LPs for your use – fun! There is also a washer and dryer on this level. Once outside, there are two terraces – one off the kitchen dining room and another off the master. There is also a cedar play-set.
Lake Mansfield, which is Castle Hill’s favorite summer hang-out, is only 2 blocks from this marvelous home with: swimming, picnic tables, BBQ grills, children’s playground, fishing, kayaking and the ice cream man is known to come around most days.
