5 Things I Love About 10703 Lexington Street

I love the details, the unexpected, the unique elements of houses I am selling. Here are the 5 Things I Love about my new listing at 10703 Lexington Street, Kensington, Maryland.

vibrant blue front door
1. I love that the front door is a vibrant color both inside and out. This makes the house stand out from the crowd and gives it personality and whimsy.

cookbook storage and display in kitchen cabinets
 2. In addition to abundant kitchen cabinets with a custom glaze, I love the use of the end space for cookbook storage and display.

3. While so many Colonial houses in our real estate market in Montgomery County, Maryland (not to mention Washington, DC, and Prince George's County, Maryland), have typical brass chandeliers in the dining room, I love that this homeowner added a modern flair of a crystal chandelier without being too trendy or gaudy.

4. Taking advantage of an 8 foot by 5 foot nook on the upper level landing, I love how these sellers tucked in a desk and bookcase, even using an applique decoration and a clear desk chair, to create a workable home office space.

thick green lawn, privacy created by wooden fencing, neat garden borders with hostas and other bushes, wooden bench
5. While I truly love many aspects of this home, and I had a difficult time finding only 5 things to highlight in this post, I do love how they landscaped the gardens to create a lush, peaceful environment.

These types of details and carefully planned touches make a house into a home.
