In July of 2020 the property at 1305 Jewett Holmwood came on the market. We became aware of this property through the Zillow, a real estate application. My partner and I were taken with the pictures and description of the house so we contacted our realtor to get us an appointment. We loved the property and put in our bid. On July 16, 2020 we were notified that the homeowners accepted our bid and Jim and I scheduled the home inspection. NOTE: I have included a photo from Zillow (45 of 49) showing the shed as it was pictured. Note that it is permanent structure which has been landscaped and has a metal roof to match the metal roof on the house. According to the previous homeowners the roof was installed approximately four years prior to going on the market in 2020, therefore about 2016. While the shed does sit in a location that is in front of the structure of the house, we were unaware that the previous owners erected the shed without a permit. The home at 1305 Jewett Holmwood was previously owned by Mary Ann Munro (née Murray) and her husband. We have since learned that the shed was erected by the Munros several years after the house was built. They choose the location of the shed to lie adjacent to the driveway. Also, since the property sits back from the road approximately 640 feet, the current location of the shed poses no aesthetic issues for neighbors. NOTE: I have included a photo from Zillow (44 of 49) showing the view from the front of the house locking toward the road. The land in front of our home is owned by Dan Murray and is approximately 1 acre in size and currently is used for agricultural purposes as a boxwood farm and other shrubs, trees, and grasses by The Murray Brothers Nurseries and Garden Center. You can see from this picture that our house at 1305 Jewett Holmwood Road is set far back from the road and is not visible from the road due to the trees and grasses growing in the boxwood farm as well as the naturally occurring trees forming a hardwood forest which surrounds the entire property.
