DON: What do you guys think about house two?

RICARDO: It's so charming and this color really, really stands out to me.

DON: It certainly sets this house apart, where a lot of the builds happened around the same time.

Hollywood developed mostly after World War II, so a lot of 1950s ramblers, Cape Cods.

JEN: So why is this neighborhood called Hollywood?

DON: No association with the film industry.

RICARDO: Aw, man.

JEN: Boo.

We thought we were gonna get our big break today.

DON: Early on when the neighborhood developed, there was a large number of really beautiful holly trees.

JEN: I like that, that.

RICARDO: That makes a lot of sense.

JEN: Yep.

DON: The neighborhood is surprisingly walkable with the Metro and MARC close by and a MOM's Organic Market, local bike shop, and a coffee shop steps away.

As I said, the house is from the 1950s, so the original hardwood floors are still present.

The other element that really sets this house apart is in addition to the rear, including the main bedroom.

JEN: The outside's great, so I'm really looking forward to what we're gonna find inside.

DON: Great.

JEN: After you.

RICARDO: All right.

Oh, nice.

JEN: Oh, yeah.

RICARDO: Oh, hey, look.

(laughs).

RICARDO: I love this green door.

It's red on the outside, green on the inside.

JEN: Yeah.

RICARDO: That's fun.

JEN: It really kinda compliments the key lime walls.

RICARDO: Oh, yeah, your traditional floor plan... JEN: Yeah.

RICARDO: Taking you back to the '50s.

JEN: I think this is a great size room.

Full size couch, extra seating.

And you know me, super plant mom, so I really appreciate all the different light sources in this room and how they've used them so thoughtfully.

RICARDO: Mm-hmm.

Let's head towards the dining room.

JEN: All right, this is nice.

RICARDO: Yeah, the traditional floor plan continues.

I like a separate dining room area.

JEN: All the natural light in this room.

You don't need to put a light on in this house during the day.

RICARDO: You can also use this as maybe a sitting area because of all the natural light.

JEN: I like that idea.

RICARDO: Yeah.

JEN: Oh, okay.

I am now seeing where the addition likely started.

RICARDO: Oh, yeah.

JEN: So we have prep and clean area... RICARDO: Mm-hmm.

JEN: Here and then back here is where you keep your dry goods and your stove.

I kinda love that because a lot of times in my house I'm like, "Get out of my kitchen."

RICARDO: Yeah, which one?

(laughter).

JEN: Yeah, no, this is.

RICARDO: You can have two now.

JEN: Yeah, this is a really cool layout.

RICARDO: And looks like there's a backyard out here, a really large one.

JEN: Nice mudroom on the way out.

RICARDO: Oh, hey, look at that.

JEN: Wow.

RICARDO: This yard is huge.

JEN: Yeah, play space, entertaining space.

RICARDO: Yeah, I would never leave this backyard.

JEN: The built in pergola really helps with the overhead sun because it does seem like this backyard gets sun most of the day.

RICARDO: Yeah.

JEN: Well, let's head in and decide where we wanna go next.

RICARDO: Okay.

JEN: Okay.

RICARDO: Oh, I wanted to check upstairs out, but look, here is the en suite.

JEN: Oh, wow.

So this must be another part of the addition.

RICARDO: Well, it's great to have it here on the first level.

And look at all this natural light.

JEN: Looks like there's a nice, big closet in here.

RICARDO: Mm-hmm.

JEN: And a bathroom.

RICARDO: Oh, do you wanna take a peak?

JEN: Oh, nice updates in here.

RICARDO: Yeah.

JEN: Three different types of tile.

I love all of them.

And I do like this distressed flooring.

This is really cool.

Nice addition.

RICARDO: Yeah, now.

JEN: Not bad.

RICARDO: Let's go upstairs?

JEN: Now let's go upstairs.

(laughs).

What's at the top?

RICARDO: Looks like a bathroom.

JEN: Oh, nice.

RICARDO: Looks like it's got original tile here.

JEN: Yeah, and then they've updated the shower.

They've added that nook with this nice tiling and the vanity looks new.

Nice updates.

RICARDO: Mm-hmm.

Here we have, oh, bedroom.

Nice size.

JEN: Yeah, so many windows in this place.

I love the light in this house.

RICARDO: Ah, nice size.

JEN: Yeah, lots of storage.

I don't think anybody has anything to argue about up here because the rooms are the same.

RICARDO: They're the same.

Right, stop fighting.

JEN: Yep.

(laughter).

Well, I think it's about that time.

RICARDO: To find Don?

JEN: Yeah, let's go find Don for the game.

RICARDO: It's on.

JEN: All right.

RICARDO: Here's Don in this lovely backyard.

JEN: Yay.

DON: Welcome back, guys.

So what did you think of the house?

RICARDO: I absolutely loved the traditional layout.

It was like going back in time to the '50s.

JEN: And even with the additions, it didn't feel out of character for the house.

So it wasn't 1950 in one part of the house and 2020 in the other, which sometimes you see there.

RICARDO: Right, you had a consistent look throughout the entire house.

DON: Right.

JEN: Yeah, I really enjoyed the kitchen layout.

You have your prep and clean area, you have your cooking area.

RICARDO: Biggest, best surprise I think is this backyard area.

JEN: Yes.

RICARDO: I was definitely not expecting this.

DON: Just a great entertaining space and obviously a great place for the kids to go.

So this house is five bedrooms, three baths, 1,666 square feet, built in 1950 with updates made over the years.

JEN: Oooh.

I'm gonna guess 569.

RICARDO: I am gonna say an even 600,000.

DON: The house lists at 525.

RICARDO: Oh.

DON: Both of you over shot the mark.

RICARDO: Oh.

JEN: Whoa.

RICARDO: So over.

JEN: Wow, given what we know about the College Park market, I think these folks got a great deal on this house.

RICARDO: Absolutely.
