We kicked off the year with a pretty big move for our family, closing on a home we couldn’t stop thinking about from the moment we saw it.
At the same time, we sold our place in Locust Point (to a good friend, which makes it a lot easier) and officially stepped into this next chapter.
Leaving South Baltimore is definitely bittersweet. That was a chapter where a lot changed for me. It’s where I found my way back to my faith, built some of my closest friendships, and really started to get traction both personally and professionally. We’ll miss it, no question.
When this home hit the market, we were immediately obsessed with it. There’s just something about it, and we’re really excited to make it our own.
One of the coolest parts about this house is the history behind it. I came across these photos in the city archives, and they were taken by Harry B. Leopold, a Baltimore-based news photographer who rose to prominence in the early 1900s and became known for documenting architecture, city life, and major developments during that era. He was often commissioned to capture newly built homes and buildings, which is why a lot of the original Homeland properties, including this one, were photographed by him when they were first completed.
This home traces back to Edward H. Glidden Jr., who was doing a ton of work around Baltimore at the time, designing everything from custom homes in places like Homeland and Guilford to schools, churches, and larger commercial buildings. A lot of his residential work had this really intentional feel to it, where every detail was thought through from the exterior materials down to the interior finishes.
Pretty wild to think these photos were taken nearly 100 years ago and now we get to be a small part of that story.
Excited for what’s ahead in this next chapter and really grateful for everything that came out of our time in South Baltimore.
