Address: 1325 Clay St. Over-the-RhinePrice: $1,390,0001880 was a big year for Cincinnati: The city had become the only municipality in the country to own an interstate railroad, and the very first freight train traveled from Cincinnati to Chattanooga, Tennessee, on February 21, 1880. The first passenger train followed just the next month. Cincinnati’s economy (and population) exploded, and the city’s iconic Over-the-Rhine neighborhood was at the center of it all.

Blue Cut Lane is an unassuming cul-de-sac around the corner from Indian Hill’s main north-south artery of Given Road; it contains just five properties. This two-story home, a customized 1978 build with a split personality, is one of them. The construction style is “transitional,” which means it’s inspired by traditional design elements while also containing telltale modern updates. The result is familiar and cohesive yet fresh and approachable.

Steve Seifried doesn’t know how many instruments he owns. The number surely runs into the hundreds, especially if you include the 60-odd cymbals crowding his living room. In fact, cymbals are packed and stacked all over Seifried’s house in Mason. They’re suspended beneath the staircase and in front of the windows. Loosies are slotted into open cases on the floor and piled on shelves in the corners. They fill out the drum kit that occupies the space where you’d usually find a couch.

Finding professional development (PD) that’s impactful and engaging can be a challenge. But what if you could choose from a variety of compelling sessions and travel across the United States or even the world to learn with other educators? Many of these programs exist, and some provide partial or full funding for expenses. I have been fortunate to take part in two incredible travel-and-learn PD experiences.

Address: 3849 Mohler Rd., Blue AshPrice: $499,900At first glance, you’d be forgiven for missing the historic significance of this Blue Ash house. Much of its square footage is in a multi-story 1968 addition that rambles down the hilly back lawn. But the shingled front section was built more than a hundred years earlier, in 1860, the year before the U.S. was plunged into the Civil War.
