Washer/Dryer on site: The pantry/washer-dryer area is shared. The pantry is separated from the house by a locked door off the kitchen. You might hear Tonya, the cleaning angel, in the laundry room occasionally, and I may be in the pantry on weekends when I come to take care of the yard. But overall it will be very quiet and private. Fenced back yard: The back yard/garden seating area is also shared with the Foster Cabin rental. However, it is rarely used, so you can assume there will be plenty of privacy and space to eat at the backyard table, or read in the shady, plant-filled garden nook. There is a large iron table and seating in the backyard, an adjustable umbrella, and additional lounge chairs. The backyard is filled with native plants/pollinator habitat, rose bushes, hydrangeas, a 200 year old fir tree, and a Japanese maple. Unfenced Front yard: Another 200 year old fir tree shades the house, and the front steps are a great place to sit and watch the bees. Parking: Off-street parking in the driveway. Note: driveway is shared with the Foster Cabin rental on the property. There are a total of 3 parking spaces available: you can count on off-street parking always being available. Additional unit on the property: The converted garage is home to the Foster Cabin rental unit. The Cabin has a separate entrance through the backyard, and there are no shared walls. The only time you might run into Cabin guests would be if you're in the shared backyard space at the same time, or maybe in the driveway. You can expect a quiet and private environment.
