Open House

Built in the 1730s, the Seegers’ home is one of the oldest single houses on the peninsula. Its green spaces were originally conceived by noted garden designer Loutrel Briggs in 1951 and 1961.

Briggs’s initial vision of a French parterre garden and adjacent horseshoe-shaped courtyard remains intact. Monica Seeger and landscape architect Sheila Wertimer refreshed the space in 2010, removing overgrown vegetation and swapping in more flowering plants, such as azaleas, agapanthus, and hydrangeas.
