Bethesda "Contemporary diamond in the rough"

Well I give them credit for fully committing to the aesthetic! They went all in!

I have no idea how much work it actually needs but I love what we can see.

I love this house. If it was $900k cheaper and an hour closer to my work I'd buy it in a heartbeat.

Bethesda housing stock is filled with outdated eyesores like this with longtime owners set to collect big $$ through the luck of geography.

This is my neighborhood. Had no idea the house was so rundown. It looks ok from the outside.

A quick google shows this as the owner, who died at 101: https://www.legacy.com/us/obituaries/washingtonpost/name/grace-gorlitz-obituary?id=2024825

I am very sorry I missed the estate sale, as her art is fun and there was a lot of great vintage MCM stuff for sale: https://www.estatesales.net/MD/Bethesda/20817/3457278

I love the neighborhood and community, but there is plenty of airplane noise, and highway noise too for some houses, including this one. I would love it if someone bought the house to restore instead of tear down. It was obviously well-loved and could be awesome again.

That’s too much money for something that will need a gut rehab, but it does have potential to be really cool.

These estate sales - can you get things online for shipment? I love her art and wonder if there are others like this.

Nice! Get red of clapboard. Change floors. It would be pretty good

I like mid century contemporary houses.
My friend this is not it .
I don’t think it is designed by an architect, just random artist owner and a builder.

Thanks for sharing this! I also live in bannockburn and just did a quick search. I bet that house was amazing back in the day!

That front floor reminds me of the floor in front of the Brady Bunch staircase.

In trying to figure out what some of the rooms were used for, like in images 16 & 19?
