of the house is dominated by a large tree offering shade and
privacy. The garage can be seen on the left and the main house to

| Between the house and the
garage is a gated breezeway patio to the rear of the house. Peeking
through the gate and looking at the right side of the garage, one
can see a collection of iron crests, looking to be of German
origin. The view through the breezeway to the rear of the house
shows many other outdoor items from their collection.
Other decorative items to note on the house are a
