3434 Waverly Dr. - Classic Country English Home with a CaliforniaTwist

 

3434 Waverly Dr. in Los Feliz

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.

5611 PARK OAK PL. - RESTORE GREEN

This 1948 Mid-Century home in the "The Oaks" an  exclusive enclave located in the Los Feliz neighborhood of  Los Angeles is a prime example of a perfect home to go green.  The home needs extensive renovation to bring it up to today's standards.  So why not seal the envelope of the house and insulate it correctly so this home will be warm in the winter and cool in the summer.  The choice of materials such as low or zero VOC paints or cork flooring in the kitchen will help with indoor air quality.  EnergyStar appliances and solar would significantly lower electric bills. Enjoy city and hillside views in a very private setting.

EAST SIDE ECO TOUR 2010 SUNDAY, OCTOBER 24th 12-4 p.m.

As an EcoBroker I am always looking for homes that are green, meaning energy-efficient,  comfortable and water wise.  Last year I went to the East Side Eco Tour and discovered those homes right in my backyard: Los Feliz, Silver Lake, Echo Park and Atwater Village.  There was new construction, craftsman homes, modern homes and a Southern-style Colonial home.  The last home is the residence of Tomas O'Grady and his family.  Tomas is the organizer of the Eco Tour, www.farmfeliz.org, and it promises to be even better this year.

This year a green apartment and a look at a green  wedding have been added along with the Franklin Hills community garden, the Green Beacon Foundation home and many private homes.

This tour is a  great way to see what green looks like on the east side of L.A.
