and it's for sale

This beautiful home was on the market a few months ago. We assumed it had been purchased. Just days after taking this picture the home was placed on the market again. Built in 1986 this four bedroom home is nestled in a quiet community in Broadneck. It has sparse landscaping but the outside of the home is immaculate...as if it was built yesterday.

We could easily do with this three car garage.

The home sits on a gorgeous corner lot, with an excellent deck overlooking the backyard.

The inside of the home could use some updating. We haven't requested permission from the realtor to use their pics so please take a look at the listing

It's the same 1980s kitchen we had in our basement apartment in DC....the carpeting and tile while new aren't quite our style...some of the light fixtures are probably original and may not be old enough to maintain retro cool status. However we deem this home a cool contemporary with lots of potential.

The Library

A Sunday drive. We always wanted to know how to get to the beautiful homes bordering the Severn River on the other side of the bridge. Hidden neighborhoods sprout off a strip mall drag…..you would never know these pockets of waterfront homes exist without some serious google mapping. The architecture wasn’t particularly impressive, until we came upon THIS house…..we call it The Library

Why the Library? In many ways this house looks like a public-use building....notice the front door....it could totally have a neon EXIT sign hanging in the foyer and still look stylish. We can picture stacks of books leading to the grand reading room...a two story square structure made of wood siding and glass.

According to Zillow, the house was built in 1959. Overlooking a small creek, the building is embedded within a forest. In a few weeks we wouldn't be able to take a picture of this private dwelling.
This picture of the back of the home doesn't do the grand room justice. I seriously wanted to run up this hill to get a better shot.

Maybe the original owner was an architect, as is often the case with homes before their time. We really hope the homeowners come through with more information about this cool contemporary.
