Brandon and Kelly Jacob bought the house next door in 1996 and became the third owners of a darling bungalow on a large corner lot. A second story addition in 2016 greatly expanded the home and oriented views to the side yard with designs to build a swimming pool. Instead of a pool, they opted to create several outdoor areas: one with a fireplace, a large pot garden flanked by a fountain, a separate seating area with swings and a fire pit, and the Piece de Resistance is their Treedeck Oasis with its bright yellow chairs!
While the front yard is planted with many heat tolerants like salvia, Little John bottlebrushes, loropetalum, creeping yews, rosemary and more, their attractive stoop is flanked by pots of succulents which makes it all very inviting.
With the heat and social distancing in place, Kelly and Brandon have managed to have a ideal place outside to meet friends, admire the beauty they have created and enjoy the outdoors. Kudos and a Tip of the Trowel to you!
