The Longest Day

With the summer solstice arriving on Thursday, we’re gearing up for the longest day of the year and debating the best backyard traditions to enjoy with family and friends!

If you read our posts regularly, you know I love to entertain. So this summer, you’ll find me setting up the string lights, popping a bottle of sparkling wine, and calling some friends for a backyard soiree. It’s my way of celebrating this place we call home, where you can sit outside at night in late June and not get cold!

I’ll bet you thought I was going to go with barbecue. Okay, so I’m going with barbecue. I mean, what else is there to do when the sun is out until 8:30pm and you have a few pounds of meat in the fridge that somebody (not saying who) brought home from Costco? Clean your grill, fire up the coals, and let the sizzling commence!

Take a sneak peek at this end unit townhome with an uncommonly spacious backyard close to the diverse and dynamic culture of Downtown Mountain View. It’s the perfect combination of private getaway and centralized location, surrounded by great school districts and major tech companies, some of which are within walking — or bicycling — distance, including Google, Samsung, LinkedIn, Symantec, and NASA.

With the Stevens Creek Trail and Shoreline Lake and Golf Links nearby, there’s plenty of opportunity to connect with nature and stay fit. And Shoreline Amphitheatre is always a destination for the best live music. Relax in the clubhouse, take a lap in the pool, or lay out and enjoy the backyard paradise we created for our clients. We’re really happy with how the home turned out after new painting, clearing, light fixtures, and planting, and we hope you’ll like it, too!

What are the must-have items you can’t live without when it comes to buying a new home?

For me, it’s all about space. I need a big back yard for hosting BBQ parties and large gatherings. The house itself should have a spacious open floor plan to accommodate indoor celebrations and family events. And of course, I need enough closet and storage space to fit my wardrobe and accessories!

I’m what you might call a “car guy” and a DIY tool man, so a big, wide, two-car garage is at the top of my wish list. A spacious kitchen is also a priority, for all those nights we spend experimenting with new recipes and breaking bread. And a well-insulated home can help save on heating and cooling costs.
