Garden and Exterior



A pea stone path runs along the garage's southside to the breezeway entry.
Currently, the garden above is home to seasonal vegetables including
cucumbers and plum tomatoes.
The garden is bookended with mature irises and day lilies on
one side and perennial and annual herbs on the other.




Constructed in 2011, a versatile patio accents the formal south facing entrance.
The pea stone path ends here.
Edged in recycled brick, gardens featuring lavender and stachys 
surround the patio's sides.




A pea stone "patio" connects the path to the formal entrance.
The porch/ breezeway offer a place to sit out of the elements
to enjoy the views of the thriving gardens.




 View from the driveway along the pea stone path and garden.
There is plenty of lawn for fun and games.





The Hill Garden is home to various varieties of hosta, lady's mantle,
a mature climbing hydrangea, edible rhubarb, and thyme.




To take advantage of the summer sunlight, a fenced raised bed
garden was installed in 2011.  Eight 4' x 8' beds filled with organic compost
produce vigorous vegetables through the summer.

The fenced garden could also be home to a cutting garden or even a 
collector's garden.




Care has been taken to utilize rocks from the surrounding woods to accent
and edge the path and garden.




 A stand of pines flank the long driveway.
Privacy abounds as the house is tucked in the woods.
Located at the end of a dead end road, traffic is minimal.

Peaceful and private are the perfect words to 
describe this property.
