The town of St. Michael’s on Maryland’s Eastern Shore has long been known as a destination for lovers of quaint shops and homes, charming restaurants and Victorian-style homes. Now the waterfront Aida’s Victoriana Inn at 205 Cherry St. is available for buyers who want to live the dream of operating a small inn or who want to convert the seven-bedroom, nine-bathroom building into a lavish private residence.
Built in 1865 in the Second Empire style, the inn retains many Victorian details. The inn overlooks the original location for St. Michael’s oyster and canning houses, now home to the Chesapeake Maritime Museum. Two blocks away is Talbot Street, where many of the town’s shops and restaurants are.
The inn, priced at $1.975 million, includes the original hardwood floors, wainscoting, millwork and mantels and sits on nearly one acre of land on the harbor. The property has a front porch and a front yard with a little beach area with a fire pit.

The property also includes a 1,000-square-foot, two-bedroom, two-bathroom cottage so that the inn owner can live separately from the guests. If the inn is converted back to use as a private residence, the cottage can become a separate guest house.
The purchase price includes all the furniture in the inn along with seating, tables, flatware and glasses for up to 120 guests, which come in handy when the inn is used as a wedding or event venue.
