The outside

The home is basically a long, narrow structure - 84' x 15' - with two "things" protruding from it: there is an addition with a bedroom and a bathroom in the west wing, and a garage angling off at a 45 degree angle in the east wing. The length of the structure faces south, and provides the most incredible view towards the Skyline Ridge. My lot is sloping down from the street, with the house up at street level and the other end of the lot some 300' SW, perhaps 40' down.
Most of the lot is a kind of meadow. Here is one of the "view" photos again, this one catching the view from my bedroom.
The lot has many trees, between the house and the street is a large oak grove. Right in front of the house, towards south, is a redwood grove, but otherwise a great view to the Skyline. This is what you see from the living room.


And there is another redwood grove further down in the side of the meadow.
