Practical, Unique, Easy Living Spaces - What Buyers Want Today. As highlighted in a recent REALTOR magazine article, the American Institute of Architect's first quarter Home Design Trends survey showed that owners are trending more toward a preference of smaller, easier to maintain homes. Less formality, more open, flexible layouts. Consumers are moving away from the ‘Mc Mansion chapter of design', and favoring homes with unique architecture and character.
Here in Maryland, a ‘McMansion' would typically be a home that is greater than 4000 square feet, will probably be listed for greater than $1 million, and will more than likely be located in Western Howard County.
If you are like the consumers surveyed and are looking to move away from the cookie cutter design that McMansions offer, in Maryland you can find a distinctive home with interesting architectural qualities, with plenty of room for entertaining and everyday living, but without the formality of a McMansion.
If you're looking for you're one of a kind dream home with acreage to spare, and yet still in a great location for commuting to Washington DC and convenience - what is available here in Maryland?
The home at 8100 Hunterbrooke Lane in Fulton, Maryland has all 
of these qualities and more. The vast kitchen overlooks the spacious sunroom which opens to the pool deck and rear lawn, making these spaces the hub of this home.
The floor to ceiling bookcases in the library and the spacious dining room give the home its formal air, without the feeling of being stuffy or off-limits. A loft overlooking the family room makes for an exceptional home office - private, yet connected.
Cathedral ceilings and floor to ceiling windows make the Master Bedroom appear open, and yet you won't be saddled with the upkeep of unnecessary extra space you simply don't need or use.
Situated on nearly 11 acres backing to the Rocky Gorge Reservoir, as you drive down the wooded driveway, this home's privacy gives you the feel of entering a large estate, yet the home itself is better suited for the reality of today's casual lifestyle. Now listed at just $950,000.
