Accokeek, Maryland
Moyaone Reserve is a heavily wooded community of 180 mostly mid-century modern and contemporary homes situated along the Potomac River contiguous to Piscataway National Park. Moyaone Reserve real estate–all homes on five or more acres–was designed by the likes of architects Charles Wagner and Charles Goodman. Moyaone is located in Accokeek, Maryland, just 20 miles south of Capitol Hill.
“When I decided to sell my mid-century home in the Moyaone Reserve, my first thought was to reach out to Mike. I’d been following his blog for some time and knew that he had a passion and knowledge for all things MCM, and I knew I needed that to find the right buyer for my MCM gem. Thanks in large part to Mike’s efforts, we got a contract with blinding speed.”
–Theresa, Moyaone Reserve seller

ATTIC is now available in cities throughout the country, but is owned and operated by a small team based right here in Washington, D.C. Its mission is simple — to make it easier for consumers to shop from small, local businesses.
