Keep life simple with this Eldred Contemporary cottage that comes equipped with solar power and a whole-house generator.

Welcome to The Future, where we can walk around on heated floors and adjust our home’s temperature via pocket devices. The cottage, built in 2007, comes with both of those features, along with a host of other hip deets, like living room shiplap, reclaimed wood around the windows and sliding glass doors…

And, during the winter, simply fire up the whole-house Generac if the power is out. Radiant heat under the floors will help keep life toasty when the snow starts to fall.

The property is located in western Sullivan County, NY, close to the Delaware River and the Pennsylvania state line.
