Sometimes color calls out to me and that was certainly the case yesterday.
I had a short time to spare in an area of Maryland that I don’t get to very often and certainly don’t know well so was driving along on the main road that runs parallel to the bay when without even giving it but a split second thought I decided to turn in to a small, older waterfront community.
Before I had even driven the couple of blocks to the waterfront I could see this amazing roof on the home at the end of the street.
This multi color tile work may be common in some places but I don’t recalll seeing anytihng like it before.
Here’s a view from the other side where you can see the roof peak and the round attic vents.
Here’s a closer up view. I think these colors works so well together.
I love the way the roof lines look.
Okay so maybe it isn’t exaclty a showplace
Although it is bigger than you might think from this picture as you can see from this Google aerial view.
And it needs some work.
But with such a great roof and this view from the front porch I probably would have bought it if it had a for sale sign in the yard.
With a little TLC and renovation I think this could be a storybook cottage. What do you think?
