This true masterpiece of sustainable, high-performance design offers a harmonious combination of luxury and eco-conscious living. Imagine life with NO electric and NO gas bills, EVER! Privately tucked away in a serene and rare cul-de-sac in Studio City, discover a testament to modern innovation and responsible living, while offering a custom design and cutting-edge features that will surpass the most critical of buyer’s expectations.

From the approach, you will notice drought tolerant features and worry-free landscaping, creating a low-maintenance exterior. The home FEELS different, but may not look different at first glance. Everything is intentional here.

Upon entry, you are immediately greeted by natural light flooding in from all angles. The home is designed for full enjoyment of the main level, offering multiple opportunities for seamless flow and use of the outdoor spaces as natural and easy extensions of the indoor spaces. The kitchen lures you in with its impressive neutral palette, offering a giant quartzite center island complete with prep sink. Fisher & Paykel appliances are proudly featured here, including an induction cooktop. The storage offered is more than generous, a space for everything you could possibly need, so you can maintain the clean, minimal look. Views of all of the outdoor spaces can be enjoyed from here. You can also open the huge turn/tilt windows to pass food through to the patio space, where a barbecue and outdoor fireplace can be enjoyed with your guests. Retreat to the private rooftop deck for enjoying the mountain and treetop views or keep it all to yourself and enjoy a private lounge space.

The primary bedroom can be found on the upper floor and features a light and bright en-suite bath with a custom vanity and giant bathtub that offers enjoyable views of the palms. In addition to the primary suite on the top floor, two additional nicely-sized bedrooms share a bathroom. The features and finishes here spare no expense. Meticulous details cannot go unnoticed - the conscious design has thought of everything for true quality of living - generous storage exactly where you need it, along with high-end materials like European-imported marbles, stones and other eco / responsible materials specifically selected for their quality and beauty.

A basement like this has never been experienced in the San Fernando Valley. Thanks to the above-grade lot, it is rare to offer windows in a lower level, but this home features several and allows light to flood in. An oversized bedroom AND a giant 600 square foot additional bedroom or functional space can also be enjoyed, along with a full bath. The rooms on this level could be transformed into your home gym, office, playroom, theater, or recording studio. It is truly large enough to let your imagination run wild.

Even as the home is considerately designed for daily and functional use, it is equally as innovative and trendsetting in its function. Imagine yourself living in a dust-free environment, with the ultimate goal of healthy, clean and fresh air. Intentional material selections deliver an energy-efficient masterpiece. This home will stay cool in the summer and warm in the winter months, thanks in part to the high-performance windows and doors. They contribute to superb indoor air quality, limited temperature variance throughout the home, and zero drafts. Enjoy a continuous supply of fresh, filtered air AND an airtight home thanks to a heat-recovery ventilation (HRV) system driving the mechanics of the home. The filtration system offers as close to a hypoallergenic environment one could achieve in a residence.

Energy independence is also key at this home. You won’t find any natural gas utility run to the property; the entire home functions with solar energy and is 100% electric. Imagine heating or cooling your home year round with no electric bill and having your desired pool temperature on demand. Charge your electric car via solar powered energy, too! This passive home is truly NET ZERO. The home has been certified by PHIUS (Passive House Institute United States) and has achieved the PHIUS-Zero designation.

Enter and experience an unmatched environment never before seen for sale in the City of L.A. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to own a home that not only fulfills your desire for luxury and comfort but also contributes positively to the planet.
