historic homes
Preserved old residences
Historic homes are residences of significant age, architectural merit, or historical importance—typically old enough to be listed on preservation registries or open for public tours.
The phrase often appears in real estate marketing, where it signals character and craftsmanship but may also imply maintenance challenges: They bought a historic home in the old quarter.
Historic homes districts preserve neighborhood character through building restrictions.
