    What's special

    Environmentalists dream! Designed by a Frank Lloyd Wright devotee w/ a large amount of exterior glass. Seller installed solar photovoltaics on the roof and modified it to make it extremely environmentally benign. Last year's net energy use was -2566 kWh for which PG&E sent a refund. Original windows were replaced w/ hi efficiency windows. Roof insulation replaced w/ higher efficiency insulation that is termite and rat resistant. The sloped roof is fire resistant cement tile. LPG generator w/ auto transfer switch, 220 Volt charging station charges car in 2 hrs. All local driving was powered for free! Kitchen redone in 2015 includes hi eff. GE induction cook top and a Fisher- Paykel 2 drawer dishwasher under quartz and acrylic counter. Adj. and just north of the house is a Redwood grove with 38 trees, "The best room in the house" including a small "Milk Shed" used by homesteaders to store milk and butter.
