7311 Bellona Ave, Baltimore, MD 21212

An unassuming driveway, marked only by a collection of mailboxes atop a stacked-stone planter of posies, winds up a rolling hill of perfectly scaped lawn, along a log fence shaded by a mature tree-line. Passing several of the five homes in cherished Martins Choice, just beyond the shared tennis court, a subtle turn leads under a canopy of fir branches and curves up to 7311 Bellona and its meticulous presentation of late 70s mid-century modernism, giant rectangles and triangles, interconnected with symmetry, balance and the geometry of perfectly placed windows interrupting the vertical grid of its plankings parallel infinity. Perfect geometry continues up the flag stone steps to the pair of monolithic front doors that mirror the proportions of the plate glass above them. The 70s were a time of open floor-plans and this foyer immediately demonstrates with sight lines to the living room, the dining room and the kitchen-adjacent den. To the left, a step down into the living room. Built-in shelves cover the rear wall, the free-standing chimney partially hides them creating a mini-library that enjoys its own sky light. A wall of floor-to-ceiling windows overlook the back deck, the opposite corners each offer the same floor-to-ceiling glass; light pours in with the trees forming backdrop of green that fill all of the frames. Back to the foyer, a 2013 addition has added a breakfast nook just beneath another wall of windows with a view of the rear patio and yard back to the wooded par
