Rockville

Together with Rockville realtor Rowena De Leon, John and Christine Louise visit three homes in the Maryland neighborhood from a starter condo to a dream bungalow. Along the way, our hosts explore the history of Rockville Pike, Offutt’s General Store (which later became Hank Dietle’s Tavern), and stop by Gwennie’s Bakery, a local Filipino business featuring traditional UBE desserts.

Christine and John tour a 2-Bedroom, 2-Bath condo in Grosvenor Place, a local landmark in Rockville, Maryland. From the moment they enter, the charm of the '60s is evident, with classic parquet floors that are making a stylish comeback. The living room boasts panoramic views, and the balcony reveals a breathtaking scene of a pond, green spaces, and trails – all within reach for residents.

John and Christine visit a charming 4-Bedroom, 3-Bath home in Rockville, Maryland nestled near Lake Needwood and Manor Country Club. The galley-style kitchen offers plenty of counter space and the dining room seamlessly connects to the living room. In the basement, a full-size kitchenette with a dishwasher and an exterior door makes the space perfect for rental opportunities or an in-law suite.

Christine and John tour a stunning modern farmhouse in Rockville, Maryland. Thoughtful design choices, including stunning tile work, add visual impact throughout the home. In the kitchen, quartz countertops and a farmhouse sink impress. The main level surprises with a bedroom suite that could easily double as a den, providing one-floor living and accessibility.
