So as promised in my last blog, I'll
be talking Baltimore real estate in
this one. I've chosen to feature
the Neighborhood of Ten Hills,
because I like it. I like the "feel" of it.
There are lots of mature trees on big
shaded lots, with grand old single
family houses on winding streets. For folks like me, who like a country feel in an
essentially urban city, this neighborhood is where its at! Old world charm
abound.

Ten Hills is an early "streetcar suburb" of Baltimore and was created in 1910
from the old A.S. Chappel Estate, a prior chemical manufacturer. His family
gave the estate the name "Ten Hills" sometime in the 1880s. Although it is
unclear why the family chose the Ten Hills label, most residents said the name
typically is attributed to the many rolling hills in the community. Baltimore
city annexed Ten Hills in 1918. The community holds a collection of homes
that included a mix of architecture that range in style from Tudor to Spanish colonial, Greek revival and Georgian.

One house in particular caught my eye as it was a contemporary. The architect did a fabulous job as the house blends really well with the rest of the neighborhood. I had the good fortune to meet the owner, Mr. Milton while he was out gardening. He was only to happy to chat with me about the house. It was built in 1994 and still looks great....what do you think?
