You will fall in love with the way the sun creeps through the French doors in the master bedroom in the morning.
And the way Autumn turns the vine that covers the house into shades of rich pinks and reds.
Summer sees the Crepe Myrtles framing the entrance burst into flower and in Spring the deck smells sweeter than words can describe as the scent of Jasmine blossoms fill the air.
Evenings are for soaking in the antique sage green enamel bathtub under the stars with a bottle of champagne.
