Ben Franklin May Have Visited This Annapolis Property

ANNAPOLIS, MD — This colonial has deep ties to Annapolis history. Built in 1900, the current home replaced an old colonial.

The current house also touts a cozy loft with reading nooks and skylights. Those ceiling windows offer clear views of the United States Naval Academy Chapel.

Aside from the property's history, the home additionally boasts fresh remodels and a backyard patio. This 2,400-square-foot house could be yours for $975,000.
