August 8, 2026650 Military Avenue: I’m Going Back AgainSome houses you sell and never see again.And then there is 650 Military Avenue in Pikesville.Today I am going back to see this house, and before I even walk through the door, I started thinking about how much history I already have there.My relationship with 650 Military began when my longtime friend Arlene bought the house. I was her buyer's agent. Arlene and I had known each other for years before real estate was part of our relationship.Years later, I came back to 650 Military in a different role. This time I listed it. It was such an unusual house. Three finished levels, six bedrooms, three and a half baths, three kitchens, and private entrances on each level. It offered all kinds of possibilities for a large family, a blended f... 08/08/2026

So when I get calls about it, when my peers ask me for the name of my home stager, or inquire on behalf of their clients if the "seller" would possibly consider selling some of "their" furniture, I happily respond with "Me, I did that" and "I'm so sorry, but our staging furniture is not for sale."It's even sweeter when an offer follows the compliment, as it did on 1483 Pangbourne Way in The Villages of Dorchester, Hanover, MD. You may recall that the first buyer defaulted, and we had to relist the property.
