Now Listed: A Home Built on Legacy —6801 Harewood Park Drive
Some homes are more than walls and windows — they are chapters of history.
6801 Harewood Park Drive is one of those rare properties where legacy, land, and community intertwine.
For nearly a century, this home has been lovingly passed through generations of the same family, witnessing the growth of Harewood Park from open land into a tight-knit waterfront community filled with families, traditions, and pride.
A Story That Began in 1930
The roots of this property stretch back to 1930, when the seller’s great-grandfather purchased the land. In 1931, he built the original home — a foundation not just of brick and wood, but of family values and community spirit.
He didn’t stop there. He went on to help shape the neighborhood itself, constructing the first Harewood Park Community Center along the Bird River, near Harewood and Loreley Beach. This gathering place became a central part of community life.
Generations of Growth & Care
In the 1950s, the home was purchased by the seller’s grandfather, who expanded it by building the brick structure around the original house, blending history with durability.
The next generation followed — the seller’s mother and her sisters grew up within these walls, surrounded by neighbors who felt more like extended family.
Community involvement remained a constant:
The seller’s grandfather was deeply active in neighborhood leadership
The seller’s uncle served as President of the Community League for over 10 years
The current owner purchased the home in 2005 and continued serving on the Board of Directors for many years
For nearly 100 years, this family watched Harewood Park flourish — homes built, families raised, traditions formed.
