    Townhome Grounds

    When we bought our home in late 2007 we had been searching for many many months. It seemed that we couldn't find the right layout or the layout was great but the surrounding areas were ugly. So when we stumbled across "The Manor" we were smitten. I could just imagine walking Max around the grounds on sunny summer days, or crisp fall afternoons. Once we moved in the novelty didn't wear off. We love our complex grounds.
    There are raised grass beds to lay a towel out on and get some sun. There are gorgeous magnolia trees lining the pathways. We have a very beautiful paperback maple tree just off our balcony, bright pink azalea's in the front, and fragrant lilac trees greeting you when you walk up the stairs. What makes our complex extra interesting is that almost all of our grounds are built on top of our parking garage. It's an amazing use of space and a beautiful fix to what would have been a concrete jungle.
    Here are the views from our bedroom window.

    Here is the view walking up to the front door.

      Wow - gorgeous! I am not a huge fan of townhouses for a few reasons, but I understand how expensive single family homes can be and I may have to live in a townhouse myself someday. Let me just say that you really scored one gorgeous place to live! I would not mind those views or that walk up to my home every day! Soooo pretty!

      That is so nice! Magnolia trees are one of my favorite signs spring has come. It is so green and lush, no wonder you chose it. Best of all even after the honeymoon phase is over it is still great. I am glad you posted this.
