Property of the Week: $969,900 Energy Efficient Ramsay Infill

It has a nine-foot-long, custom-made Douglas Fir eating bar.

The living room has triple-glazed Kolbe glass doors that help regulate the internal temperature of the home.

Where it is

1823 William Street S.E.

The history

Designed by Lighthouse Studios, this three-bedroom, four-bath duplex was built to meet LEED Platinum certification and will be one of only four other Alberta homes to do so. LEED, Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, is an international green building certification program. A LEED home includes all aspects of sustainable home design including site location, water use, air quality, building materials and energy efficiency.

What to love

William Street makes green design look very chic. The kitchen’s custom-made Douglas Fir eating bar and brick tile wall in the dining room add a natural touch to the open concept main floor. The less-obvious sustainable design features include high-performance, energy-efficient windows, low-flow shower heads and faucets and dual-flush toilets, double insulation and Energy Star appliances.

What to consider

It may be tricky to decide exactly what to do with all the extra money you save on heating and electrical bills.

The stats

1,600 square feet plus a finished basement
