This charming home of the week is a throw-back to more than 25 years ago, to the house that started it all. This is where the seed to Once Upon A Haus was planted, only I did not know it then. Back in the 90s I was an exchange student in Merrimack, NH and this charming home belonged to my host-gr

"Andrea, I gotta tell you, I just love my new home! I love coming home. I love the building. I love being able to walk everywhere. Every morning I wake up happy, enjoying the view over Patapsco Valley State Park while drinking my cup of tea on the balcony. Everybody who comes to visit me, loves i

I wake up at 6 something AM as daughter 1 stomps down the stairs. When I open my eyes I find my dog nose to nose with me, tail wagging and full of energy. Before I can roll out of bed, my phone goes nuts. Dings, calls, texts, push notifications and what not. All at once. The HCPSS (Howard County

I love a good challenge, especially when it's for a good cause. When I was looking for a new challenge (because clearly a crazy-good Real Estate market or 4 hours on a bike aren't enough 😉 ) I didn't have to search long. A trail race happening at Rockburn Branch Park in Elkridge, MD on December 4

Last week I talked to a friend of a friend about buying his first home. It's one of my favorite Real Estate conversations to have. The excitement is real, and contagious, and I love being a (huge) part of this journey. You can only buy your first home once after all! I'd like to buy a house Andre

My favorite color is fall. I just love everything about the season, the fragrances, the sweater weather, and my favorite trails painted in all shades of yellow, orange and reds, glowing in the autumn sun. Leaf peeping is probably my top fall activity, making apple and pumpkin picking a close seco

3820 Thoroughbred Lane is as charming of a home as it gets! The original farmhouse was built in 1810 with parts dating back to 1736... notice the half-timbered wall in the kitchen? It's reminiscent of old German architecture and not a detail you'll find in any modern clononial. Two 3-story additi

Busboys & Poets just opened their newest location in the Merriweather District in Columbia, MD, perfectly timed with my birthday 😉 Thank you kindly! It's been years since I stopped by the one in Hyattsville always hoping that they'll open one up in Howard County, closer to home & office. I just l
