Skip into summer...from a sweet spot on the peaceful, lazy Lavender Ave in cozy Colonial Village. Stroll over to Omie’s to anchor the day with an AM espresso, leisurely create a lunch by heading to King’s Red & White Market to grab ingredients to compliment a raised bed harvest, or hit the easy button, taking in the full flavors of a Guanajuato plate. Jump into weekends with sawdust flying, crafting art in the wired workshop and plucking tomatoes from the nearby vines during breaks, and end those days gathering around the fire pits with friends. Hop in the car to grab dinner on a whim at one of countless eats and treats within 3 miles downtown, or mosey over to the Museum of Life and Science for a day full of fun and relaxation. Spread out inside with the main bedroom tucked away in the back, create the ideal space in the generously-sized flex room complete with a retro sink and serving area for workday or workout breaks, or entertaining friends for evening conversations. Skip into summer...and keep skipping into the Fall and beyond feeling the joys of 503 East Lavender Ave.
