heritage homes
Preserved old houses
Heritage homes are older residential properties valued for their historical, architectural, or cultural significance.
The term typically applies to houses built in a distinctive period style—Victorian, Craftsman, Colonial—that communities seek to preserve.
Heritage designation may restrict renovations: The heritage home couldn't be demolished, only restored.
In real estate, the label signals character and often premium pricing.
