The brought back Victorian is the pride of the Easton, Maryland, Historic District.
The Chaffinch Home inhabits a grand area in the history of Easton, Maryland. The brought back Queen Anne Victorian is among some half-dozen to still exist in the downtown historical core and a crowning example of the fanciful design that was popular in the late 1800s.

A part of the wraparound front patio has actually been evaluated in for outside dining.
When the present owners purchased the location, states Martha Suss of Long & & Foster Realty, “your house remained in an extremely rough shape.” For many years, it had actually been transformed to homes, a bed-and-breakfast and back to a single-family house prior to ultimately entering into foreclosure.
There were 5 layers of roof, no working air-conditioning, a gutted kitchen area and open holes in the plaster walls, she states. “Squirrels were going through your house.”
