A small waterfront cabin was renovated into a contemporary year around residence. This small pocket garden located across the street from the home, has a stone pathway leading to a small seating patio with fire pit. This is a unique seaside, low maintenance garden. Drought resistant and salt friendly plantings were used throughout. This garden has become the focus of the neighborhood with many visitors stopping and enjoying what has become a neighborhood landmark.
