Visitors enter underneath a rose-covered arbor to a path that leads to the front door. Once inside, the garden ambiance is reflected in the rose-patterned sofa, carefully chosen antique furnishings, and whimsical décor, and the garden can be seen from the living room and dining room through floor-to-ceiling windows. In the living room, a pair of leather recliners flank the wood-burning fireplace, an ideal place for conversation or watching the 42-inch HDTV. A small library of local history books is also available. Outside, a patio offers comfortable outdoor seating and a Weber charcoal grill, the perfect setting for backyard barbecues and enjoying cocktails in the evening.
