Elliott Himelfarb and Janet Minker had walked past the featureless Bethesda, Maryland, house hundreds of times but, says Elliott, “There’s something about a ‘for sale’ sign that gets your attention.” They took a second look—and a third—and discovered that hidden behind an uninspiring facade of shiplap siding and orangey bricks was a tidy cube of early 1960s modernism set in a deep lot planted with cherry trees, poplars and dogwoods. Modernist aficionados and devoted gardeners, Janet and Elliott saw the potential that others had missed.
