The Di Jones marketing for 3 Victoria Avenue was repérer sur, or spot on.
A petite, formal, wisteria covered patio space with a sense of openness, with elements of stonework, neatly trimmed hedges and shrubs, with a symmetrical focal piece. Arbour gates fit the bill. Though not quite a French parterre which originated in 15th-century gardens of the French Renaissance.
It was passed in at $1.8 million, and then sold mid-year at $1.8 million.
