What you can get for under $1 million in Anne Arundel County

There’s the newly updated historic home, the charming cottage that’s steps from the water, or the traditional home perfect for backyard entertaining.

Here are three real estate listings ranging from $915,000-$950,000, chosen by Historic Homes of Baltimore creator Jason Freeman.
