Certain buyers could qualify for $15,000 in forgivable loans. The City-University Partnership’s Homeownership Program is part of an effort to increase the number of University of Maryland and City of College Park employees living in the City. It provides $15,000, in forgivable loans, to full-time, benefits-eligible University and City employees to become homeowners in the City of College Park–ultimately reducing commutes, strengthening neighborhoods, and supporting our local economy.
So what is the big secret about this house.
Call it a she-shed, studio or backyard retreat...whatever term you use this is a great space for a home office, a recreation room, art studio, a place to meet friends, a home gym or a even private spa. It is an outdoor structure that provides a bit of privacy and draws on its natural environment. Who isn't craving that these days?!
