Espalier means to train flat against a fence, wall or series of horizontal wires such as those used in training grape vines in many vineyards.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179311615101890268.post-23255494614249348822011-03-01T14:49:44.777-08:002011-03-01T14:49:44.777-08:00I agree completely with LGB - as usual.

Of all the homes to select from in the area at that price range, and they picked this one!? Nice to have no drive-by traffic for the most part, although Sharon Stone surely still needs househunters driving about 3 more doors down the street to maybe finally releive her of that hasty decision. I have never like this north end of this drive; depressing before you even get to one's home and then to have to live at this dead end. Always seems dusty and lacking curb appeal from house to house.<br />Lucky, luck for the sellers though to unlaod that house to Dane/Gayheart.<br /><br />Miss Dawn RidgeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179311615101890268.post-39680889913722438082011-03-01T13:24:38.392-08:002011-03-01T13:24:38.392-08:00Nope, sorry ––– not liking it; a lot. Not even nea...Nope, sorry ––– not liking it; <i>a lot.</i> Not even near the much-despised pseudo-farmhouse style the developer seems to have gone for, this house is only a sheath of asbestos shingles away from tract home.<br /><br />Even understanding the premium on land, the lot would have been better left undeveloped. Unlike Gore Vidal's hillside parcel, a charming slope that leads up to a secluded pool, this house appears, from the air, to completely cover the only level part of the property, the rest being given over to slopes that would sicken Sisyphus. It gives one the impression of being imminently dumped out to the curb like so much rubbish ––– hardly welcoming. The fact that there's little traffic doesn't hide the fact that the house is still toodamnclose to the street, and the driveway is even more perilous than Mama leads us to believe.<br /><br />The alley (and let's face it, it hardly merits <i>that</i> moniker) behind the house is overgrown & cramped, and hardly a kid-friendly backyard (how many times can a child run up & down the sidewalk? Even peek-a-boo loses its appeal after time). With a newborn the pool patio is pretty much off-limits, and the so-called "flat grassy pad" Mama mentioned is not much better; it would take a troop of illegal Mexican nannies to keep all but the most comatose of toddlers from toddling off into space, down the hills & out to the aforementioned curb.<br /><br />Since the decor is not theirs I'll (somewhat kindly) give it a pass (even though that beamed-and-sky-lit bath is truly nasty); the only promise the property holds out for me is the gazebo at the end of a torturous climb out back. Doesn't seem to offer much more in terms of a view than the neighbors' waste vent stacks, but the verdant hillside does put me in mind of a line from <i>Barefoot in the Park,</i> when Corie asks her mother what she thinks of her 5 floor walk up, Ethel breathlessly replies, <i>"Oh! I feel like I've died and gone to heaven! (...only I had to climb up...)"</i><br /><br />/rantlil' gay boyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10115496241247504856noreply@blogger.com
