Description: This remodeled Sunset District home, with spectacular Pacific views from both levels, tries to show that it's easy to be environmentally friendly. Developer Helmut Schmidt, a proponent of sustainable building, incorporated many green features, including advanced heating, ventilation and insulation; a 2-kilowatt solar system; efficient lighting; water-conserving plumbing; dual-paned windows; and reclaimed decking and window coverings. The countertops are recycled glass, the flooring is cork and the carpets are hemp. The color schemes flow from room to room, with hues ranging from greenish to tan to bluish gray.

Don't miss: The open-floor-plan chef's kitchen has a huge circular skylight, backlit on the inside crowning, that matches the curved floating countertops.

Size: Four bedrooms, 2 1/2 baths, deck, one-car garage; 1,737 square feet with 3,000-square-foot lot.

Built: 1954, remodeled 2008.
