Green Street Home Built In 1920 Is A Diamond In The Rough
This nearly 100-year-old Havre de Grace home needs someone who loves a challenge, as it is a real fixer upper — and the price reflects it.
HAVRE DE GRACE, MD — If you love a challenge, this home in Havre de Grace may be for you. Located blocks from downtown and around the corner from City Hall, it affords the luxury of being right in the middle of the city.
That said, it was built in 1920 and requires major updates and extensive renovations. Graffiti is scrawled on some walls, while others are knocked out.
State property records list the owners as Robert Edward Rice and Norma Jean Rice. He passed away in April 2018 at age 68, and she died in October 2011 at age 58.

The owners, who purchased the house in 1982, were deeply involved in public service and caring for others, particularly through the Havre de Grace Ambulance Corps, where both were lifetime members. The ambulance corps dedicated the Norma Jean Rice Memorial Pavilion in her honor in 2012. She was a nurse at Harford Memorial and Upper Chesapeake Medical Center. He was a paramedic at Aberdeen Proving Ground who later served as a licensed practical nurse at Perry Point and also volunteered for the Susquehanna Hose Company. Their home is fit for someone who can provide first aid to help restore this four-bedroom — which features touches like a spire and bay windows — to its original glory.
