With interior space at a premium, the Zerbeys make the most of their backyard that effectively doubles their living space. With the big kitchen window and glass door (which is typically left open on nice days), they consider it an extension of their great room. During the summer, they do a lot of al fresco dining, hosting friends for barbecues, and lots of time playing with Avery and their dog, Bailey. In addition to the expansive deck, there’s a grassy play area surrounded by northwest-friendly plants, and a veggie garden planted in the strip of their “old California.”
