The owner was a master gardener and the property features mature planting of specimen trees and shrubs, and flowers. There are flowers in bloom every month of the year. The plantings create a sense of total privacy for the back yard and much of the property. As the back of the property faces west and south and sits, the house and gardens are sunlit.
The property features a flagstone driveway that leads to the kitchen, a two-car garage with full lower floor, where the original owners raised dogs that ran in the ample woods below. In 2018, a deer fence was installed to protect the upper gardens on the property. A new asphalt shingle roof was installed in the 2000s, and is maintained by Fick Brothers.
