The Realtor Energy Audit Program (REAP) sponsered by the California Association of Realtors (C.A.R.) provides a $250.00 rebate for an energy audit when a buyer gets an FHA Energy Efficient Mortgage (EEM) and uses a CA realtor. For a comfortable, energy-efficient home the first thing you need to do is get an energy audit once you decide on your perfect or soon-to-be perfect home. Actually the first thing to do is talk to your mortgage broker about a Energy Efficient Mortgage which will allow you to borrow more money to do energy-efficient upgrades. In both cases you need a HERS (Home Energy Rating System) home energy audit of the home before the close of escrow. A HERS rater will give you a road map within your budget to achieve a home without drafts, where every room is the same temperature and your utility bills are lower. This program is effective until December 31, 2011

3434 Waverly Dr. - Classic Country English Home with a CaliforniaTwist
Bedrooms: 4
Bathrooms: 2.5
Sq.Ft: 2,604
Lot Size: 5,140 $1,345,000.
This house is a classic Country English home but with a hip California twist. It has many large windows and french doors to bring in the sunshine. The current home owners have kept the integrity of Country English architecture and decorated with modern furniture, wild wallpaper and their personal art collection that gives this home a very contemporary feel.
The backyard is small but there is a large flagstone patio off the living room and den. The neighborhood is quiet with the Immaculate Heart of Mary Retreat House is across the street. I'm sure that helps in keeping the serene.
