A lot of people will remember the Spanish style home that sat on the south side of Gore Road at 455 West Gore Road. Years ago, it was cute. Now it is extraordinary. Read all about it here and in print in House to Home. This 4,076-square-foot home includes four bedrooms and three and a half baths. Chuck Weber lists the home at $545,000.

We have some great gardening stories in House to Home, as well. Sue Scholz shares all the winners of a recent local rhododendron competition. Plus, a terrific article shares how folks install bars — counters in kitchens and recreation rooms. Stylish and practical, bars offer a lot of opportunities and range anywhere from 8 to 16 feet in length. Read the story here.

Enjoy all the open houses this week. We’ll be sharing some new ideas in the coming weeks in House to Home.
