The Tour’s Selection Committee has finalized the homes and gardens to be featured on the April 22, 2012 tour, and we are very excited about the variety of styles of the featured homes. Our goal was to find a great mix of homes that would reflect the diversity of our neighborhood. We are happy to share with you the selections for the 2012 event:
2012 Showcased Locations
Gardens
- 744 W. 43rd – Stepping through the garden gate into this urban Eden, it’s evident that a true gardener lives here. Mostly hidden from street view, this expansive 1 acre garden features a 15,000 gallon koi pond and gently curving flagstone paths that invite visitors to explore. The beautifully tended beds were planted to provide a habitat for birds, butterflies and bees and specially selected to provide color year round. Want to learn about beekeeping as a hobby? The owner will gladly share his knowledge.
- 1325 Sue Barnett – The explosion of color in this whimsical garden was designed to showcase the beautiful home on this 19,000+ square foot lot. The large softly curving garden not only accents the home and front yard, but features a wide variety of seasonal and colorful plantings for year round appeal.
Homes
- 224 W. 34th – A newly completed renovation of an original footprint, this home has surprising interior features, modern touches and a tremendous focus on details and finishes. The exterior’s mitered corners, custom steel work and outdoor spaces as well as vaulted interior ceilings and a large working kitchen reflect the contemporary yet comfortable lifestyle that the owners desired. High windows provide natural light for Asian, Indian and African carvings as well as humorous antique store finds.
