About this property

Cool 1870's home anchored in the Historic District with modern amenities.

Our century-and-a-half-old, five bedroom and three bath home with 3,000 square feet centrally situated in the heart of the Annapolis Historic District downtown.

You'll be 3-4 blocks from the Naval Academy, Main Street shops, food and the historic State Capital.

Ours is a Federal style, circa 1870's, three story brick row home which was partially upgraded in 2017. Renovation included gutting both the kitchen and the English basement bedroom.

Enjoy a screened porch overlooking a private garden surrounded by an eight foot tall brick wall. There is plenty of space throughout the home with hideaways where you can relax and get away from it all.

There are three full baths - the second floor has a walk in shower. The master bathroom has a claw foot tub combination shower. The renovated English Basement, which is the fifth bedroom, has the third full bath with a walk in shower. Although we permit up to ten guests, there are five beds: a California King, a queen, a sleeper sofa queen in the English basement and two double beds on the second floor. There are two queen inflatable’s stored in the English basement.

The rear bricked patio has a Weber gas grill and a Solo fire pit and it is surrounded by an 7-8 foot high brick wall. The rear screened porch behind the kitchen is our favorite go to space for sharing pleasant weather or streaming to the the overhead TV screen.

With its walk-to-everything coordinates, creaky heart pine floors, tall ceilings and upgraded amenities, you'll feel a warm coziness throughout our old brick home.

The English Basement bedroom has three entrances including a rear door to the brick walled patio.

You can come and go from the English basement bedroom through the interior stairs or through the lower level front door which takes you up the brick steps directly to Prince George Street.

There is a small laundry on the second floor and two large capacity LG laundry machines in the English Basement.

Non-smokers only. This is our 'real' home, we live here when not renting. Our home is for mellow family events.

No on site parking - Calvert Street Garage at 19 St. Johns St. is free on weekends and after 6pm daily. Hillman Garage at 150 Gorman St. has 24 hr parking @ ~$30 daily.

About the host

Hosted by The Harmons

Host profile image
We love our 'new' home complete with 1870’s quirks complemented by a modern kitchen, updated baths and a location in the middle of historic Annapolis. We moved into town from the woods three miles away when our youngest went to college.

Why they chose this property

Prince George Street is the greatest street in Annapolis. We parachuted into the center of historic Annapolis with dining, art galleries, pubs, the circular playhouse and shopping just a few minutes walk away. One word to describe the whole place: PLEASANT.

What makes this property unique

Historic 1870's cool relaxed, casual, definitely not a museum feel.
Exposed brick walls. Plenty of communal spaces as well as get away/leave me alone places in which to retreat.
Modern kitchen and updated baths.
Screened porch overlooking the private walled garden with firepit stove.
Less than five minute walk to everything in Historic Annapolis.
Non-smoking.
Not an absentee landlord, we live here.
