AFTER A COUPLE IN NORTH ANDOVER renovated their traditional-style house, transforming it into a contemporary Colonial that lives comfortably in the 21st century, they turned their attention to the backyard.
They didn't like what they saw.
The space, nothing more than a plot of overgrown grass dotted with some trees and shrubs that were anything but artfully arranged, was most uninviting, especially to their two preteens, who enjoyed staying indoors and playing video games.
To entice the kids and their friends to come outdoors, they commissioned Cibele Flamurtari, the interior designer and CEO of North Reading-based Kite Interior Design, to create a comprehensive landscape that has many of the amenities of a high-end vacation resort.
Flamurtari, who had also done the home's interior renovations, collaborated with Smart Choice Services of North Andover on the poolscape, which features a swimming pool and hot tub, a pool house with a bath, an in-ground trampoline and an outdoor kitchen.
