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.

SMALL LOT ORDINANCE HOMES - MORE TO COME IN ATWATER & SILVER LAKE

Two small lot ordinance projects that are under construction now are Casitas Village the 27 single- family residences on Casitas Ave. in  Atwater Village and the Edgecliffe Townhomes four single-family residences on Edgecliffe Ave. in Silver Lake.  With a small lot ordinance home you own the land under the house and their are no or minimal HOA fees.

The Casitas Village homes are across the street from Casitas Studios which is an art complex composed of  theaters, artists' studios, art classes for kids, a gym and a cafe (the cafe hasn't opened yet) and within walking distance of Glendale Blvd. that has restaurants and shops.  The homes are 2 to 4 bedrooms and 4 baths starting at 2800 sq. ft.  The architecture is modern with floor-to-ceiling windows that create great air flow and an indoor/outdoor feeling.  The construction is all steel and concrete (fireproof).  The rooftop garden will have a kitchenette and bathroom, great for entertaining. There are spectacular views of the San Bernardino mountains.  A really smart feature in this home is a dumb waiter from the garage all the way up to the rooftop.  This project is going for a LEED Platinum rating.  Opening soon probably January 2011.

Edgecliffe Townhomes are 1/2 block from Sunset Blvd. in Sunset Junction where there is a farmer's market every Sunday and very hip restaurants and shops.  Two of the homes have a small yard and all have rooftop gardens with views of the Hollywood sign and the Griffith Park Observatory.  Each home has 3 bedrooms and 2.5 baths. This project is sustainably designed with dual glazed low- e windows, dual zoned HVAC, low or no VOC finishes, pre-wiring for electric car charger and solar thermal chimneys plus many more features.  Opening Summer 2011.
