Cornhill Street- Historic home Downtown Annapolis

Selling a historic home in Downtown Annapolis is certainly challenging.  There's the stewardship of owning a historical home, but it also has to function in today's society. Finding that balance was the key.

Deciding to sell

When my clients decided to sell, upgrading the not so authentic to the house kitchen was an issue. I brought in someone with a love for historic homes,  who advised them to leave it alone. This would allow the buyers to decide whether to upgrade to today's standards or historically restore. 


One of the important steps in the real estate process is the inspection. With a historic home that's over 200 years old, there's a fine line between preserving history and the home being structurally sound.  Due to the age of these gems, there might be issues uncovered, which a seller might be asked to address.  The buyers are gaining a wonderful home!


One thing the sellers did have passed down to them was historical papers.  This particular home was a tavern, and a dry goods store in it's past life, and it was documented that Thomas Jefferson bought some things there.  Those items were passed on, but they are also available at the Historic Annapolis.  If only those walls could talk!
