charming home of the week: Once Upon A Haus: the one First Lady Jackie Kennedy saved - 01/10/23 08:25 AM
On Christmas Day we ventured into the city to see the national Christmas tree. While the crowds were squeezing in to get a good shot in front of the White House, this REALTOR® was much more interested in the block of historic mid-19th century rowhomes on Jackson Place, right across the street. 
No. 708 is my favorite. The Trowbridge House was built as a residence for William P. Trowbridge, a mechanical engineer, military officer, and naturalist in 1859. Among its stand-out features are a stunning bracketed cornice, a slate mansard roof (in fact, an add-on 30 years later to go with the … (21 comments)

charming home of the week: Once Upon A Haus: the one(s) that make me stop the car. - 11/29/21 05:56 PM

Back in the 90s I was an exchange student in Merrimack, NH and this charming home belonged to my host-grandparents. We visited a few times and I still remember the guest room on the upper right, and the living room on the lower left, hugged by the walls of the turret.

charming home of the week: Once Upon A Haus: 5782 Main Street. - 09/02/21 10:06 AM
5782 Main Street in Elkridge, MD is technically not a home, but it IS incredibly charming. I simply must include it in my series of Charming Homes of the Week for several reasons.
Elkridge, MD is a town in Howard County that has often been forgotten while county resources were poured into its prominent (and more affluent) neighbors, Ellicott City and Columbia. Slowly, but surely, the trend is reversing and revitalization efforts are underway. The county invested major bucks in building an Elementary School on Ducketts Lane, a new library + senior center on Route 1, a new fire department and … (4 comments)
