LOVE: AN INTENSE FEELING OF DEEP AFFECTION This home is affectionately known as the Love Home, partially because the owner, Dessa, has a deep affection for this sun-drenched bungalow, and also because of the address, 214, which calls to mind Valentine’s Day. Incredibly inviting, comfortable, and livable, this Upper Rockridge beauty still stands proud after 91 years. Soak up the sun and enjoy the verdant views and a private backyard, known for its prolific apple trees that have satisfied many neighbors. You can recline on a chaise lounge, sip an icy drink, gaze at the hills and grab a ripe apple from a tree that conveniently drapes the porch. Stationed in the place to be, just blocks to Lake Temescal, the Claremont Country Club and Village Market.
