When I lived in Annapolis many years ago, the Peggy Stewart House was a part of my daily life. 
The Peggy Stewart House got its name from the ship named after Anthony Stewart’s daughter, Margaret. Stewart, a merchant and importer, lived in the home for seven years. in 1774, he returned to the US with a ship full of tea, paid the duty on the tea which was a violation of non-importation agreement. There was a riot, and Stewart was forced by the mob to set fire to his ship and its cargo. Stewart fled Annapolis soon after.
TheStewart House includes five bedrooms, four bathrooms, eight garage parking spaces (which may account for the high price – parking is at a premium in Annapolis, year-round), a roof deck,
The house is adjacent to the wall of the US Naval Academy and looks over the historic chapel.
Many of the original details of the house remain, including dentil molding,
the original center-hall stairs,
and beautiful plasterwork.
The colour scheme is sympathetic to the house’s historic origins.
However, the house also is full of mod-cons, including a great kitchen with all of the big name appliances, 
Having lived in Annapolis, I can tell you it’s a great place to live, and this is a fabulous house!
I love how open and modern it feels, but still true to its time.
ReplyDeleteAnd I second what you say about living in Annapolis. I lived in Eastport, not downtown, but it is a fantastic town. And that's a great location!
And it has parking!
DeleteI know this house and talk about "location." I would dearly love it. Wouldn't we all? P.S. Eastport is a great section too.
ReplyDeleteLove Eastport, too! They used to call the residents Eastportoricans.
DeleteThe black and white paint on the lower moulding on the ground floor is interesting. Is that historically correct for the colonial or federal periods?
ReplyDeleteI think it's traditional. I remember seeing it in other houses. It's great looking, isn't it?
DeleteI lived in the Murray Hill section of Annapolis and worked for some Realtors on Church Circle. I loved strolling down those historic streets and dreaming about these homes. Annapolis is a special place. I would love to return and live in one of these gems (and the parking!!).
ReplyDeleteI lived on Cathedral Street and on PG Street.
DeleteI have friends that owned one of the townhomes opposite the entrance to the Naval Academy. The Fourth of July parade went right past their house. They had horse-hair plaster walls, original floors and a charming brick patio in the back.
Deletefabulous neighborhood, fabulous house!
ReplyDeleteAgree 100%
DeleteI'd love to see what Darryl Carter would do with this place.
ReplyDeleteOr Bunny or Charlotte!
DeleteMeg What an amazing home! The carriage house itself would be worth a small fortune!

It's sort of tucked away, but the town's so small that it's in a perfect location. There are five of these old houses remaining in Annapolis.
DeleteI will forward this to friends who had parents that lived there. Great house + plus great post. xxpeggybraswelldesign.com
ReplyDeleteThey will probably know this house. It's one of the five remaining big historic houses there.
DeleteWhat a wonderful post of such a lovely house.
ReplyDeleteIf I had just won the lottery I would be right
on it. Thank you for giving such fantastic views of how the "other half" lives.
I was sorry to see that I didn't win that big lottery pool, either!
DeleteAnnapolis is a gem. It will always be one of the most beautiful cities in the U.S.
ReplyDeleteIn addition to living on campus at SJC, I also lived on Charles Street and on Market Street. Many, many fond memories.
