Good things do come in small packages. This ordinary 60’s ranch style home has been transformed into a cozy, charming home with cottage-style appeal. Each room reflects the homeowner’s eclectic style. You will see mismatched restored antiques, colorful fabrics, original artwork and fresh flowers. Friends describe the home as having “good energy”. A favorite room is the screened sleeping porch where family and friends enjoy long relaxing visits and Sunday dinners. Beyond the porch, a stone path leads to the tin-roofed “garden house” which serves as a respite from the business of life. The garden house and outdoor shower serves the gardeners well during hot summer days. The cottage style garden changes with the seasons but always includes favorite annuals, perennials and seasonal vegetables and herbs. Hydrangeas and gardenias are a favorite. Original yard art and stained glass designs add whimsy to this garden getaway. The cottage style home is charming and a reflecion of true southern living.
