This lovely eco-friendly home is located on a quiet tree-lined street in West Berkeley. The utmost diligence and care has been taken to upgrade the original 1923 home and to renovate the garage. The property is a certified green business. The native plant landscaping in the front is only a hint of the lush garden oasis in the back. Fruit trees, Japanese maple and flowering plants are watered with a Greywater Catchment System from the washer. The bonus space, the renovated garage has French doors, a kitchen, bathroom, office space and bedroom. All the fixtures were salvaged and recycled. The floors are natural - oak, cork and bamboo. The rug in the bedroom is all wool. The bathroom has a compost toilet. Both buildings have been painted with low or no VOC paints and finishes. Other green features include a Hot Water on Demand system, blue denim insulation, and passive solar.
