Great Victorian home in the heart of Havre de Grace, Md., which was incorporated in 1785.

Near the marina, near the excellent restaurants, and near the waterfront park where the Chesapeake Bay meets the Susquehanna River. This 4 bedroom, 3 full bath, 2,454 square foot house sits on an easy-to-keep 0.17 acres.

There are 2 gas fireplaces; it has gas heat and electric heat. Full eat-in kitchen; nice den with hideaway for TV.

The home, built in 1900, has lot of little touches from that era. The third floor is quaint and cute. A sort of aerie, which could be an office, playroom, or simply a space for contemplation, with its built in bookcases and enhanced hideaway attic space. This redone dormer-window top floor area is a highlight.

The rest: Newly installed air conditioning system, ceiling fans, cellar with outside entrance, furnace, dehumidifier. Other points of interest: front porch, alcove under stirs, wooden floors, except LR with wall-to-wall carpet. Lots of storage for such a cute and cozy house. Great windows bring in bright light.

Has a nice backyard with a shed and a concrete patio pad. Plantings including Kim, a lilac, and nanking, which blooms beautiful red berries before the holidays, and has been used for decorations at the Brandywine River Museum Christmas exhibit in Chadds Ford, Pa.
