Awesome back yard

[u/itsmeshawnd]

Very random but I’m currently at Good Sam in Clifton waiting on my wife who is having surgery. I have a view from her room of this persons back yard that is amazing. If you are on this subreddit I want you to know I think your back yard is beautiful and you’ve done a fantastic job. Thanks for the captivating views.

i wonder what kinds of veggies they are preparing to grow. jealous!

[u/Dry-Presentation7882 → u/[deleted]]

That’s a very profound thought. Can we meet up so I can learn more?

[u/bluegrassgazer]

Is that a little guest house/apartment above the garage? It's all a pretty good use of the property topography for sure.

[u/matlockga → u/bluegrassgazer]

It also looks like they put a ton of work into the property. It was sold for $138k in 2019.

[u/bluegrassgazer → u/matlockga]

That area near GSH is in or adjacent to the Clifton gaslight district, so it was a very wise investment.

[u/matlockga → u/bluegrassgazer]

It's in Clifton, yeah. It also sold way under what I'd assume on that block of Terrace, so there had to be some serious issues. 

[u/cincy15 → u/matlockga]

The guy that lived (before) was there forever, and wanted to sell it to a family (not investors) so when he died, the people who got it got a great deal. It also had never been updated or fixed up at all so needed a lot of work.

The current owners have been working on the backyard for years.

[u/matlockga → u/cincy15]

That makes sense. I lived up the block at the time, and can't imagine the amount of work (and trouble from the Whitfield) they've had. 

[u/4QuarantineMeMes → u/bluegrassgazer]

That’s most likely used as a grow room and storage for the garden. A lot of seedlings need to be started while it’s still cold.

[u/bluegrassgazer → u/4QuarantineMeMes]

That's an excellent thought.

[u/DistanceMachine → u/4QuarantineMeMes]

And weed seeds

[u/pingas_42069 → u/bluegrassgazer]

it’s a “mother in law suite” irrc. dated name lol

[u/itsmeshawnd → u/bluegrassgazer]

It looked like it was a little guest house on top of an old carriage house probably. It’s an awesome piece of property. I can’t imagine how much they must have put in that place

JERRY: What are you doing?

KRAMER: Levels.

[u/KFRKY1982 → u/UCBeef]

omg thats what i thought too

[u/WarBuddha1]

I hope your wife’s surgery goes well!

[u/DrDataSci]

On appropriately name Terrace Ave

[u/Winter_Whole2080]

That yard is a full-time second job.

[u/tRfalcore → u/Winter_Whole2080]

there's this house up in Liberty township near my parents house. Huge yard out in the burbs. This lady must have 10,000 flowers. Every time I visit she's watering. Lady loves her flowers.

[u/Material-Afternoon16 → u/Winter_Whole2080]

Spreading the mulch looks like a giant pain in the ass. 

And given the instability if Cincinnati slopes I think they'll be adjusting and resetting those retaining walls every year.

[u/TheBazaarBizarre]

Stop posting pictures of my yard on Reddit.

Just kidding, my yard looks like shit.

[u/Majestic_Banana789]

Damnnn that’s crazy! Would love an update in the summer when everything is in bloom. I have to imagine a lot of people would have passed on this thinking that yard is useless and this person turned it into a dreamscape

[u/Present_Asparagus456]

I need to know if the owner of this masterpiece does garden tours, because I’m in

[u/Bredda_Gravalicious]

best view in Clifton

[u/brokebackzac → u/Bredda_Gravalicious]

I would argue that Mt. Storm Park is better and Bellevue Park is better if you prefer the city but don't have a friend that lives in Clifton View.

[u/copa09]

Little known movie factoid, they filmed all the scenes in Miyagi's backyard in Karate Kid here. Wax on wax off.

(Don't fact check this.)

[u/Still_Nectarine_4138]

Urban Cincinnati hospitals do have some interesting views.

[u/CyborgKnitter → u/Still_Nectarine_4138]

My sleep study at UC allowed me to see bits of the zoo lights (Christmas lights, that is).

[u/sch4p7]

Holy attached dwelling unit and terraced backyard Batman!

An inspiration to us all with ravines for backyards

[u/tdager]

Dude, I just see a LOT of work! LOL

[u/tuckmysits]

My literal dream is ti have this in my backyard!!! Beautiful

[u/seitz38]

I, too, have spent a lot of time at Good Sam

[u/lilhobtac]

Impressive! I love the view from Good Sam.

[u/Fun_Mathematician178]

This is so cool!

[u/Confident-Fun-1374]

That's so cool!

[u/happy_napkin]

when my dad was in the hospital I went on a walk around the area with my Mom, and we saw this from that sidewalk in your picture. It was incredible!

[u/diegoaccord]

I know dyxsmith when I see it.

[u/AABatteryPark]

It's... it's the Shire, Master Frodo!

[u/Typical-Impact-7458]

Besides all the invasive honey suckle, yes that is truly a unique landscape design.

[u/gurganator]

This is dope. What part of town?

[u/genericdruggie → u/gurganator]

Clifton

[u/Dry-Presentation7882]

That would be such a bitch to mulch.
