THE GROUNDS
Outdoor spaces were as important to the owners as the interior. A nearly one-third acre site afforded highly regarded landscape architect, Mike Eagleton, to design and create amazing outdoor living spaces. Both formal and casual areas center around two Campania fountains. The architect imagined an elegant and purposeful space for stress relief in the form of a secluded courtyard off the living room, while a heated, covered patio was thoughtfully designed for larger family gatherings. The back fountain area with it’s magical sound of water is a relaxing place to read a favorite book or ponder life in slow motion. From that setting you are able to genuinely appreciate the architectural elements of the back of the property. Explore your inner soul in the beautiful and serene zen garden where bountiful flowers and miniature trees surround you. Flowers always make people better, happier and more hopeful. Entertaining in the outdoors as well as indoors of this home is a delightful experience for both hosts and guests alike.
