Yours and mine, to ours The couple was ready to create a home that checked all the boxes for each of them. After a serious amount of digging by Jen, (“Jen has the ability to research like no one I have ever seen,” says Bob.) the two chose to build a single-family courtyard home in one of West Chester’s 55-and-over communities. (Although, it’s important to note that Jen’s not yet 55!) When it came to selecting the lot, it was all about location, location, location. The half-acre parcel they chose was at the end of a cul-de-sac and backed up by green space. The Mill Creek runs along the northern side of the property. (Jen checked the creek’s flood plain before settling on that location.) And it’s just an overall “super convenient” location. Kroger is within easy walking distance and Dorothy Lane Market, a favorite of Jen’s, is a quick trip up I-75. The characteristics of the lot were extremely important to the couple. “We wanted a lot of privacy and a yard for our dogs,” Bob says. Their dogs are 80-pound Brady and 22-pound Sammy. And the yard is an appealing playground for pets and people alike. The couple owns a section of the rear tree line, but they planted liberally to protect their view year-round. “We brought in 30 to 40 trees,” Jen says. “Mostly a variety of arbor vitae and pines.” Holding center stage in the yard is an inviting pergola with comfy seating, a paver floor and a stone fireplace. Just in case the fire doesn’t keep the couple warm enough on chilly nights, they can supplement the heat with a powerful heater they’ve nicknamed “Tron.” “I will sit out here even if it’s 30 degrees,” Jen says. It’s a great spot for enjoying a glass of wine.” ➻ 20 housetrends.com
A large section of grass was allocated for the couple’s two dogs. The back patio area faces east, so it’s a favorite shaded afternoon/evening hangout. housetrends magazine <strong>2023</strong> 21
