This 1889 Victorian underwent a gut rehabilitation in 2010-2012 to transform it from a dilapidated 2BR/1BA to a 5BR/4BA contemporary family home. The rear of the home opens completely to the patio with an embedded Olive tree via a 9' bi-fold French door system. The Master Bedroom has a similar door that opens to a private roof deck with frameless glass railing. The patio features large concrete pads separated by 1/2" gravel. A lawn on the middle terrace gives kids a place to run around. This house achieved a LEED Platinum green certification from the US Green Building Council in 2012.
