Never before has Los Angeles experienced a home quite like this. Welcome to the first ever PHIUS-certified PASSIVE / NET ZERO home. A true masterpiece of sustainable and high-performance design, offering a perfect blend of luxury and eco-conscious living. You may wonder why more homes have not adopted design and building initiatives like this… until now.

Located in Studio City, this Phius-ZERO (Passive House Institute United States) certified design and built new construction home may look like all of the others from a distance, but enter and you will experience an unmatched environment never before seen for sale in the City of L.A.

This modern home will surpass the most critical of buyer’s expectations. Privately tucked away in a serene and rare cul-de-sac, discover a testament to modern innovation and responsible living.

As you enter, you will notice drought tolerant features and worry-free landscaping, creating a low-maintenance exterior. Beyond the 100% natural Golden Balau wood siding widely known for its durability in outdoor environments, this is where it gets interesting. The home FEELS different, but may not look different at first glance. Everything is intentional here. You may not notice that the exterior plaster is ventilated, not only to add resiliency to the home, but to prevent moisture issues on the interior.

Even the high-performance windows and doors have unique functions in this home, resulting in superb indoor air quality, limited temperature variance throughout the home, and zero drafts. This home will stay cool in the summer and warm in the winter months. A Zehnder heat-recovery ventilation (HRV) system drives the mechanics of this home so you can enjoy a continuous supply of fresh, filtered air AND an airtight home. The filtration system offers as close to a hypoallergenic environment one could achieve in a residence. Resource-efficient standards deliver a low moisture and dust-free environment, maintaining ventilation at a desirable level and preventing moisture intrusion, with the ultimate goal of healthy, clean and fresh air, a pleasant indoor climate and of course, carbon neutrality. The meticulous design strategically positioned the home’s windows to let the sunlight in, but the design choices combined with intentional building material selection like “super-insulation” for example, minimizes thermal gaps and helps to create an energy-efficient masterpiece.

Compared to a conventional home, passive houses experience a reduction in energy usage for both heating and cooling by up to 90% and reduction in total energy usage by up to 70%. Less energy use translates to lower greenhouse gas emissions from power plants and subsequently, less contribution to global warming. As a result, the reduction in energy usage makes a passive home more affordable to live in and maintain.

Energy independence is key at this home. You can enjoy the pool and spa (also powered and heated utilizing the home’s solar panels) or find respite on the outdoor patio or raised deck and enjoy views of the Studio City hills. You won’t find any natural gas utility run to the property. The entire home relies and functions off solar energy. 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!

The primary bedroom can be found on the upper floor and features two custom built-in closets, and an en-suite bath with a giant bathtub that will offer enjoyable views of the palms. In addition to the primary suite on the top floor, two additional nicely-sized bedrooms share a bathroom. A laundry room with additional storage is also located on this level.

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. One 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. This level also features floor-to-ceiling built-in cabinetry and additional storage.

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. Designed to be long lasting and affordable for a lifetime, you can live responsibly and beautifully in this net-zero gem.
