Baltimore Real Estate Round-Up: Locust Point for Dog Lovers

December 1st, 2009 No Comments

Rowhouses are troublesome for dog-lovers.  While the homes are lovely, the yards sometimes aren’t big enough for a dog.  Or at least the sort of big, fun, slobbery dog that all decent people love and cherish.   Locust Point, in addition to being home to Fort McHenry, Phillips Seafood, and Latrobe Park, is the future site [...]

October 27th, 2009 No Comments

Have you become bored of the same old houses for sale, week after week?  Are you tired of browsing the same boring listings that never seem to change?  Do you ever wonder, “Where are all of the houses that are new to the market?  Where can I find those?”  This, gentle reader, is why we [...]

Real Estate Round-Up — Locust Point for $300k & Under

August 25th, 2009 No Comments

We’re not quite sure what it is about Locust Point that we like, but we know we like it.  Perhaps it’s because our first crab feast was at L.P. Steamers, as authentic a crab shack as you’re going to find.  Perhaps it’s because we always seem find ourselves around there when our parents are in [...]

June 30th, 2009 3 Comments

History is free, and it belongs to all of us, whether we want it or not. But historical attractions like to charge admission. Here’s an abridged list of some time-laden Baltimore locations that cost less than $10.
1. Fort McHenry in Locust Point (It is its own address. Seriously.) is the big one. This star-shaped fortress [...]

Real Estate Round Up

June 29th, 2009 No Comments

We don’t know if you know this, but houses actually are selling these days.  It might be hard to fathom, but it’s true. Someone out there got a great deal on a two-bedroom, two-bath rowhouse down in Locust Point a month ago for $215,000, lower than the lowest appraised price. With that in mind, we [...]

Real Estate Round-Up: Home Offices!

June 8th, 2009 No Comments

We know that to some of you folks – the entrepreneurial and freelancing sorts – living close to work is a moot point: your home is where you work. In your honor we’re focusing this week on two-bedroom residences, with patios, that can easily be transformed into home offices. Convert the second bedroom into [...]

Real Estate Round-Up — $50,000 Off

June 1st, 2009 No Comments

Everyone knows it’s a buyer’s market, but when a seller knocks $50,000 off a moderately priced house, bargain hunters sit up and take notice. We found three homes whose prices dropped $50,000 within the past two or three months. Two are under 900 square feet and gorgeous. The third is bigger and, while more basic, [...]

Beer Pong

February 23rd, 2009 No Comments

If it was a quiet night in our college years, if we didn’t have much homework, if finals were over, or if it was any day of the week after Wednesday, we could usually be found in our buddy Jeff’s garage, surrounding a ping-pong table.  Now, while table tennis is a great, great game, that’s [...]
