Historic Annapolis Home Hits Market, Boasts Colonial Ties

A signer of the Declaration of Independence used to live here. Two hundred years later, the Downtown Annapolis home was listed for $975,000.

ANNAPOLIS, MD — A slice of Downtown Annapolis heritage hit the housing market on Thursday. The 19th century home touts deep historical ties.

Most notably, Samuel Chase, a signer of the Declaration of Independence, used to live on the property. Chase died in 1811, and the current home was built on the same site in 1850. The next buyers will be the 10th to live on this plot of land since Chase called it home.

Seeking $975,000, the interior is completely remodeled. Highlights include a backyard patio and a rooftop deck overlooking the Maryland State House.
