Dog Friendly, Cozy Cottage, 1st Floor Apt For 2; A Garden And Fine Art Retreat

About Lisa

A watercolor artist for over 35 years, I have become a gardening fanatic since the purchase of this simple Villas, New Jersey property in 2010. Also an animal lover and owner of a spoiled Shichon (Shih Tzu / Bichon mix), I have made special accommodations to invite hummingbirds and butterflies into my garden to feed and thrive. I was drawn to this quaint town after embarking on a body of artwork called "Streets of Cape May" where entire streets of the historic town are illustrated in vibrant panorama watercolors. Wanting to start a large garden as an added palette to my creative portfolio I searched outside of Cape May and found the perfect location for all I needed to express. Wanting to share these surroundings with other art and garden enthusiasts (other than my family) I have opened up my home's private apartment to those who thirst for all of the special beauty this area has to offer.

Lisa purchased this Apartment in 2010

Why Lisa chose Lower Township

I fell in love with Cape May on my first visit and was compelled to dedicate my artistic career to capturing it's glorious streets in watercolor panorama paintings. I also yearned to start a significant garden, having outgrown my postage stamp size yard in Philadelphia. How perfect was my find when I ventured north and happened upon a town called "Villas" where the reasonably priced cottages offered the land that I was in search of. Just a bonus, of course, that the bay beaches were just two blocks away allowing my little dog, Chloe' the ability to satisfy her own desires. My Chloe' is now in animal heaven with her cat brother and sister Boomer and Alexandra. We miss her terribly. Our Munchkin has helped to fill the great hole she left behind.
