EXTERIOR

Spacious screened back porch overlooks pond and garden.
The garden has a magical feeling. There is one large pond and 2 smaller ponds with a bog garden and lotuses.		The large pond, 20' x 5', has waterlilies and a waterfall. A sturdy wood and steel footbridge provides a shortcut between the 3 ponds. Don't worry, it's not a lot of maintenance, a stainless steel custom made filter only needs to be tended to twice a year.
The waterfall is crested with night blooming cerus, (the white flowers shown) which are very fragrant and blooms 4x/year. The red blooms are bromeliads. Many varieties are found in the garden.	The herb garden is planted in raised terra cotta containers for easy use. It's arranged on a half circle mosaic sunburst. The property includes a deep well with irrigation, sprinkler system on timer. Makes it really easy to have a nice looking garden. The house is on city water and has been totally re-plumbed with 1" PVC.
The mosaic step outside the porch. Handpainted ceramic tiles are used in the screened porch.
	Outside side the master bath, a french door leads down to a private patio area, with pavers and a garden mosaic on the wall. This area is surrounded by a hedge of beautifully fragrant tea olives. It's wonderful for taking sunrise baths and watching the variety of early birds land in the giant old pine tree in the garden
The hobbit house was built for Halloween many years ago and has a front door, back door, a window and electricity. Above the door is written in elvin "Welcome Weary Travelers". The hobbit house is used to store garden tools and is a good access from the backyard to the front door.
