Tough sell?

I really like old Hyattsville. That is the actual city of Hyattsville located on Route 1 just south of College Park.With its mix of lovely (and affordable) arts and crafts bungalows dating from the 1920's, I have always considered it a great place to own a home. I was showing homes there this spring when I ran across this particular home (with complementary cars) and did a double take. I had to go back and get some photos.

The home belongs to  Clarke Bedford, a local artist and curator at the Hirshorn Museum and this is actually where he lives. I wonder what his neighbors think of what he did to the place and I can't help but think of what I would do if I ever had to sell this home. It would be an interesting marketing exercise. Anyhow, if you want to see for yourself the home is located on Nicholson Street within the city limits and is very easy to find.
