Westside real estate firm Pence Hathorn Silver kicked off a “going green” campaign when they previewed a Santa Monica LEED home late last month. The $5 million home may have appeared normal with white painted walls, cement floors and breezy French doors everywhere, but the entire structure is green. PHS featured four main rooms listing the green materials — like granite counter-tops from recycled quartz, bamboo wood flooring and a storm water retention pit— used to create the eco-friendly atmospheres.
The event was hosted by “Days of our Lives” star James Scott, and attended by Stephen Nichols, Diedre Hall, fighting champ Michael Katsidis and James Lynch from Santa Monica Chamber of Commerce, among others.
