2136 MAYVIEW DR. - LIGHT & BRICHT & GREEN IN FRANKLIN HILLS



 2136 Mayview Dr.
Los Angeles, CA  90027

At the very top of the Franklin Hills is an updated Traditional home with green features.  Built in 1940 and updated a few years ago the home features beautifully dark stained floors and rich crown molding, a new roof and gutters and new electric system.  The green features include an energy-efficient water heater, a drought tolerant garden and solar panels for heat and electricity.  There is no air conditioning but with all the windows and ceiling fans and being at the top of the hill the air flow will keep the home cool..Today, it was 80 degress at noon and clear.   This is what I dreamed of when I lived in Chicago..
