WHAT SETS IT APART: "Most houses
in the area are very traditional," says Realtor Mary Gullixson. "This is
probably the only Japanese-style home among them. And, from every room in the
house, you can look outside and see beautiful Japanese gardens, which have been
planted to bloom differently each season." (Click image to enlarge)
