About the House
Built in: 1928. Bought in: 1990. Size: 1,850 sq. ft. “We didn’t like the outside of this house at first," say homeowners Sally and Joe Monaghan. The porch was screened in, the paint colors drab, and the shrubs overgrown. But as we’ve painted it and added new plants, the exterior has become our favorite part.” Wave petunias overflow from pots suspended from the porch ceiling. Their light purple color complements the darker petunias on the steps.
