Enveloped by lush foliage and white-blooming plants, this Boston ivy-clad cottage in Ansley Park has a storybook feel to it. When the ivy is at its peak, the house nearly vanishes into its surroundings.

One of the most attractive things about Ansley Park is its intriguing mix of architecture. An eclectic array of home styles lines the sidewalks throughout the old Midtown neighborhood, where houses are built close to wide, curving streets. Those same sidewalks often bring pedestrians within earshot of front porches, which for residents can be both good and bad. The challenge becomes creating a garden with an inviting entrance that enhances the home’s curb appeal but one that also provides a sense of privacy.
