SAN FRANCISCO, CA, Mar 06, 2012 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) –
Zephyr Agent Julie Reber has listed San Francisco’s most
eco-friendly 19th Century home, located at 1566 Sanchez Street in San
Francisco’s Noe Valley neighborhood.

eco+historical homes is dedicated to the acquisition and restoration
of historic San Francisco homes and leads the green residential
revolution in its progressive series of rehabilitation and expansion
projects. The five-bedroom, four-bathroom 1889 Victorian showcases
mindful reconstruction while maintaining San Francisco’s distinctive
historical style.

Designed to achieve the pinnacle of green recognition, the LEED
Platinum certification, this home reflects green building principles
and materials. From the easily expandable solar photovoltaic system
on the roof to the first residential use of Aquatherm Greenpipe, this
home’s green features minimize environmental impact while positively
influencing occupant health. The renovation preserved many of the
home’s unique attributes and utilized a great deal of reclaimed
materials from rafters to brick. A gray water system sends shower and
tub water directly to the garden.

LEED certification provides independent, third-party verification
that a building, home or community was designed and built using
strategies aimed at achieving high performance in key areas of human
and environmental health: sustainable site development, water
savings, energy efficiency, materials selection and indoor
environmental quality.

“The exceptional appearance of the monochromatic and original facade
belies the magnitude of a contemporary, re-engineered and
thoughtfully-designed home,” commented Reber, a Top Producer for the
past five years and Premiere Property agent in Zephyr’s Pacific
Heights office. “With a sense of personal privacy, the atmosphere
also creates an enticing space for classic social events,” she added.

In addition to the five bedrooms (including two master suites) and
four baths on three well proportioned levels, the property features a
two-car garage wired with 220V for electric car charger plus abundant
storage; professionally-designed gardens; private decks with
breathtaking views; nine-foot, tri-folding French doors throughout to
bring nature indoors; a built-in home theater; a custom wine cellar;
a gourmet kitchen and great room featuring a preparation island,
fireplace and breakfast nook; and an exquisite dining room providing
all the right elements for gracious entertaining. The lower level
includes an additional private entrance and contains two bedrooms and
a bath, ideal as au pair or in-law quarters.

The home is listed at $2,395,000. For further information on this
remarkable property, please contact Julie Reber at 415-609-3677 or
