This house used to be a mess. There was nothing going for it — not the yard, scary garage, or the house itself. It was the kind of property that people would complain about.

With a renovation of house and garage, including fresh paint (and better colors), the property has new owners — well, new in a past few years. They have taken some pride in the yard, planting grasses and flowers. From another angle, you can see buckets filled with tomato plants.
