105 HIGH Street, Chestertown, MD 21620

Morning light pours through restored original windows. The river shimmers a block away, and a mansard roof that has watched over High Street since 1863 frames it all. Rebuilt after the fire of its day, the Tilley Residence has been brought back since 2022 by a top builder and his designer sister.

A grand staircase, refinished by hand over many months, rises past glimpses of the water. The new custom kitchen is made for gathering. Upstairs, the primary suite has its own fireplace, and there are 4.5 brand-new baths. Below, a bright lower level holds a wine cellar.

Everything unseen is new, too: HVAC, electrical, plumbing, roof and insulation. Outside, there's a private fenced yard, a remodeled garage, and the historic Custom House next door. Shops, galleries, dining and the marina are all a short stroll away. There is no better chance to drop your keys and create your legacy in Chestertown's Historic District.
