Near to a small shopping center plus delightful parks and hikes. The gardens surrounding this house are spectacular in the spring and summer! The current photos were taken on a rainy day in February so they dont do it justice. Imagine the following - Wisteria is in full bloom by the front door and white blossoms on the pear trees in early April. Beautiful red roses climbing up the lattices that cover the back porch in May. Cherry, plum and apricot trees full of fruit in June and large pink and white hydrangeas bordering the lawn in July and August. The owners spend most of their time barbequing and entertaining friends and family on the back deck from May - November. You will be staying at this home during the perfect months.
