This past Saturday was the Running of the Balls in Greensboro, where about 5,000 people ran through Sunset Hills celebrating the colorful lights wrapped around chicken wire balls and hanging high in the mature trees. The event was a very successful fundraiser for a local food bank. The above house is in the Sunset Hills neighborhood, even though it is not quite in the line of the running course. However, with the leafless winter trees, they can see the festivities from the yard. We love the fact that the owners of this house add their own spin on decorating. They also have Moravian stars and look at those giant ornaments on the ground in front of the door.
As you can see from the photo, 2505 West Market Street is a large Colonial home, often referred to as 5 (windows an the second floor) 4 (windows on the ground level) and a door: Five, four, and a door. The house was built in 1937 on nearly 1/2 acre. At the time it was built, it would have been on the western outskirts of Greensboro. Today, it almost feels as if it is in the heart of town. This house is located near the intersection with West Greenway. The current owners have owned the house for the last sixteen years. We're betting they are the ones who painted the red brick white. The sidewalk in front of the home make this section of the neighborhood very walkable.
Happy Monday!
