| Rear Garden |
With the home situated forward and close to the street property line, the backyard stretches from the rear of the house almost 75 ft to the rear fence. The 80 ft long interlocking stone driveway allows parking for 4 cars and transitions seamlessly into the rear patio and deck. Accented by a water pond and tall shade trees, this area provides a cool and tranquil retreat.
Further back, a contemporary urban landscaping feel takes over, with rock flower gardens, crushed stone granite walkways and stone benches situated along side to enjoy the setting. A cedar shed provides useful storage for the avid gardener and cyclist.
“In summer months we just come out here to take a break from our workload and busy schedules. This is one of the main reasons we decided not to get a traditional loft – there is no backyard to relax in and enjoy. And since we don’t have any grass to cut, it’s pretty low maintenance. Most of the plants are perennial and just take care of themselves” says Bea.
