PARKING: There are two driveways and two garages. Off winter you can easily park up to 5 cars on the property. Street parking is prohibited. In snowy conditions, the upper driveway, being steep, gets icy and very slippery. When icy, we recommend only one car be parked on the upper driveway and parked at the bottom. The lower driveway is flat and also has a 2 car garage, thus accommodating 4 cars in summer or winter. There is plenty of permitted street parking, even in the winter; however, if it snows the city snowplows need access to the streets. If your car is parked on the street when the city has to plow they will likely maneuver around your car, but may tow or cite you as permitted by law. Regardless, during winter, the risks during scheduled snow plowing are yours. Please note, I contract annually with a local snowplowing service to remove snow from the driveways.
Surveillance Cameras, Noise Monitoring and Remote Control Devices: There are 5 motion censored exterior cameras on the premises: 1 at the lower driveway; 1 at the upper driveway; 1 at the 2nd floor front door and deck; 1 at the 1st floor front door and 1 on the 2nd floor rear deck (spa is not visible). There are 3 noise monitoring devices that measure noise levels in decibels but do not record any audio. They are located at the front deck, rear deck, and living room. Lastly, several functions can be controlled remotely by the Owner. These include the front door lock, the water supply line, the thermostats and the exterior landscape lighting.
