interesting, but i feel like it's incorporated too much trendy finishes into the work done on the interior. trends change and all of those severe tiles choices, over-the-top open plan, and quick-flip grey interior accents are going to date it terribly, and anyone looking in that price range is going to be critical of those choices

be very curious to see how close they come to the asking price

Guilford

And they seem to think it's okay to just splash shower water all over the bathroom. (See pictures 41 and 46 at the Zillow listing.)

Yeah, wrong side of Loyola to be Homeland

Is this the one Wes Moore is selling?

Nope. This is.

With Guilford being a historic district, those renovations can get real expensive. I grew up in Homeland, which had a very aggressive neighborhood association/HOA. A wide amount of improvement work would have to get association approval and/or align with 'historic character' rules. And since it wasn't their money, the Association had no problem telling folks to do the most expensive option, 'because of neighborhood character'.

The master bathroom shower tub area actually looks deep enough for no shower door or wall, but I agree the other bathrooms look to shallow for that. At least half a glass wall would probably be good. 🤷🏿‍♀️

Maybe they were going for a "European" bathroom look.

The tile work in most of the bathrooms definitely looks too trendy.

People should just go with a subway tile and call it a day. Or marble, or whatever stone slabs wealthy people would use.

I've seen the same thing in listings for much less expensive rehabs and new construction. I am starting to think it's purely for photos/staging to make the bathroom look larger and less cluttered. The assumption is that the buyer will add a shower curtain.

If so, that's quite tacky and cheap. How much is saved by not putting up half a wall of glass anyway? If you're going to put all that money into some ugly busy af tile in a chevron pattern, why not put up a bit of glass... Smh.

Stuff like that just makes me wonder what is it I cannot see that they cheaped out on.

Being from the other side of York Road where crime is high, I couldn’t believe that such nice big homes existed as a child. We would go trick or treating in this area along with I believe it was called 7 lakes and wow at such big well kept homes. It always felt weird that two sides of York Road could be completely different

That's Baltimore for you. So many different neighborhoods, but a street can be like a border.

Agreed the bathroom tile is gross. I think a lot of what makes it look trendy are the god awful light fixtures and staging. Surprisingly, I like the stone slab they picked for the island.

That’s old east coast port cities

I mean did the old big houses in Govans, original Northwood, the big houses on the Alameda, and how are you? Ednor gardens? Cause those neighborhoods or or the opposite side of York road and they are stately and well kept to varying degree too

Once you hit Woodbourne Ave and are going towards downtown, the left side of York Road between the Alameda and York Road is very crime ridden. There are big houses on that side but majority of them haven’t been kept up while the other side is completely different.

The alameda is no more “crime ridden” then anywhere else. The point is the house are just as nice and big on both sides of old York/ York road . It’s somewhat rough east till you get closer to Loch Raven blvd. But the majority of them are is great conditions

Lmao. Naw fam. They’re way two different environments. Homeland has million dollar homes while on the other side of York Road, you won’t find any between the Alameda and York Road yet are in the same zip code. 21212 The Alameda isn’t too bad as far as crime but when you get to Old York Road, there’s been many many murders in that area unfortunately.

Im not talking about “environments”. Im talking about the sizes of homes/style. No shit the environments are different that’s by design. Those are early 1900s streetcar cul de sacs for wealthy WASPs, the latter are are also streetcar suburbs, but they were blocked busted, but the opposite side is only objectively shitty till Loch Raven blvd in most cases.

That really only applies to exterior modifications. The Deed and Arch standards don't apply so much to interior spaces.
