Soon after purchasing this European-inspired home, the new owners made big plans to renovate the landscape in keeping with the spirit of old-world formality and craftsmanship. Former city dwellers, they now wanted to embrace outdoor living in a big way with flower-filled gardens in which to display their collection of art and sculpture, a large patio and outdoor kitchen for entertaining, an outdoor fireplace, and a manageable culinary garden reminiscent of ones they encountered on their travels through Europe.

Re-imagined outdoor spaces and premium materials have given this suburban home a new sense of identity and greater energy. With an unusually tight lot, making the most of every square inch was a prime driver for the landscape design which included an upgraded main entry, outdoor dining area, cozy firepit and lounging space, a “collectors” garden, pet-friendly amenities, and extended usability with landscape lighting.
