They purchased the home one December when the expansive gardens were just a promise of summer.“We saw pictures of the gardens and as an avid gardener, I knew this was the house for me. It had a greenhouse and I had always wanted one. We had no room for a greenhouse at our home in North Syracuse," Jay said. “When we walked into this house, it just called to us.” The couple didn’t want to live in a development and loved what they saw as a unique home.The three season room is their favorite.

There is a wood stove which he said makes the whole house toasty and it’s nice to sit...
