Relaxation, contemplation and natural beauty have the tenets by which the owners have designed and maintained their Sunrise Drive landscape over the 3 plus decades.

A true labor of love, always having been executed jointly, their gardening mantra has always bee to work with and enhance the natural inherent beauty.  Their property abounds with established specimen, deciduous and evergreen plantings, stone-walls, arbors, water plantings, natural stream-fed trout stocked 1/3 acre pond and spillway with water-falls and much more!

Many of the plantings are of indigenous varieties, lovingly gifted by family and friends over the years: wisteria, dogwood, quince lilac, myrtle, pachysandra and more.

An environment of mutual cohabitation between flora and fauna.
