406 Vivian Way

Welcome to this unique 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath, passive solar home nestled on a private half-acre lot in Woodstock, GA — with no HOA. Designed with energy efficiency and comfort in mind, this thoughtfully crafted home offers the opportunity to enjoy lower electric and gas bills, with documentation available to verify the past two years of savings. The home's passive solar features include 6-inch exterior walls with additional insulation to help keep the interior cooler in summer and warmer in winter. A larger roof overhang minimizes direct sunlight during the hotter months, while the absence of north-facing windows reduces exposure to cold winter winds. At the heart of the design is a stunning two-story solarium that faces south, harnessing the sun’s warmth in the winter to naturally heat the house. The property is beautifully landscaped with crepe myrtles, gardenias, azaleas, daffodils, irises, and other flowering shrubs, eliminating the need for mowing. Natural light flows generously through solar tubes in both upstairs bathrooms, complemented by a wide, open stairwell with a mid-level landing and windows that overlook the solarium. The primary bedroom suite features a private balcony into the solarium, a built-in vanity with a granite countertop, two walk-in closets, and a fully shelved storage closet in the bathroom. The primary bath also offers individual light switches for the glass-enclosed shower, freestanding soaking tub, sink vanity, and in-wall electric heater. Throughout the home, you'll find no carpet, solid oak wood flooring on the stairs, porcelain floors on the main level and overhead fans in every room. A centrally located wood-burning stove provides cozy, efficient winter heating. The spacious kitchen boasts Quartz countertops and abundant cabinetry, ideal for both cooking and entertaining. The in-wall Bosch conventional/convection oven and microwave are a splendid addition to beautiful kitchen. Outdoor living is just as inviting, with a private paver patio and water fountain in the front courtyard, along with a detached deck in the backyard — perfect for dining, barbecues, or simply relaxing while watching the deer and birds. The home is also equipped with a whole-house fan in the solarium, tongue-and-groove cedar siding in both upstairs bathrooms, and long-term care with a termite inspection contract maintained since 1985, as well as an A/C and heating maintenance contract. This distinctive property offers both beauty and function, all within a peaceful, natural setting.
