Net Zero Energy Home Near Downtown Golden Just Listed by Norm Kowitz

Built from the ground up in 2014 to meet the stringent energy standards of Germany’s PassivHaus Institute, this amazing home at 407 Garden St. is one of the most – if not the most – green homes in Colorado.  An ultra-efficient building envelope allows this ingeniously designed home to consume as little as 10% of the energy used by a traditional home of the same size. It’s entirely electric, with electricity consumption offset by a 3.9kW photovoltaic system, making the home a net-zero residence and delivering a HERS rating below 10. Currently 1 bedroom and 1 bath, the home was designed with a 440-sq-ft second floor in mind, which would add 2 bedrooms and another bath (plans included). To top it off, the home sits on a private lot with incredible mountain views and is located just a few steps from the Tucker Gulch walking path, half a mile from the heart of historic downtown Golden. Norm Kowitz will be holding this home open this Saturday, Feb. 24th, noon to 2 p.m. Meanwhile, you can view a narrated video tour of this home and its sustainable features at www.NorthGoldenHome.com, or call Norm at 303-229-3891.
