Historic homes come with character and charm

Buyers can find eclectic Colonial Revivals with brick and stone siding, and Federal-style townhouses along hilly streets. “Dickeyville’s a very small pocket in Baltimore, with very old historic homes; it almost has the feel of not being in the city,” says Chris Cooke, a Team Leader with Berkshire Hathaway Home Services with 21 years of experience serving Maryland. “Some of the stock there, because it's so old it might need renovation.” Home prices range from the mid $300,000s to the mid $600,000s, depending on age, square footage, and home condition. The community has been around for centuries, and most of the oldest homes are from the 18th century, serving as housing for the mill workers at the time.
