This beautiful historic Tudor home, built in 1926, wanted to enhance its curb appeal, maximize space to increase resale value, and create a relaxing and safe family environment.  The front yard features an English/French country cottage garden style with feathery grasses, nepeta, cistus, santolina, and teucrium with a color palette primarily of purples, greens, and white.  The backyard design incorporates shade solutions to reduce the summer’s excessive heat.  A long, rectangular pool on the elevated lawn area, extends into the patio to create a central relaxation and play area. The patio benefits from the afternoon shade provided by the new two story ADU, along with a lounge space featuring an outdoor shower at the back tier of the yard.
