House on the Corner of Oak & McCormick

This single-family house in the heart of the Glenwood neighborhood of Greensboro is charming and represents the old south. The large front porch looks so cozy and must be a real refuge for the residents on warm days. The red tin roof really makes the house stand out against the white exterior and the bright blue sky. The natural, scruffiness of the yard is actually much healthier for the environment than a manicured lawn.

The Glenwood neighborhood came into being at the beginning of the 20th century and actually had trolley service. Glenwood was one of Greensboro's early planned residential neighborhoods. The above house, built in 1945, at the end of World War II, is a bit younger than many of the properties. With those mature oaks behind it, this home is just begging for an artist to paint it!

I agree Janis, it is a charming home, would look gorgeous as a watercolour painting 💛
