Sustainable-living advocate Priscilla Woolworth lists her Valley Glen compound for sale

Sustainable-living author Priscilla Woolworth has listed a compound in Valley Glen for sale at $1.45 million.

The 1930s Spanish-style house, with beamed-ceilings and French doors, sits on a third of an acre on a tree-lined street.

Some 2,509 square feet of living space include a living room, a dining room, a library/family room, a 1950s era kitchen, three bedrooms, two bathrooms and a powder room. Corner fireplaces grace the living room and master bedroom.

The solar-powered property also has two guesthouses. The drought-tolerant yard includes pesticide-free gardens, fruit and citrus trees, a swimming pool and a dining pergola draped with grape vines and wisteria.

Perhaps the most unusual feature is a lending library at the street.
