A home fit for a duch*ess has hit the Baltimore real estate market for $1million.
This gorgeous 1886 property once served as an educational institution to the former duch*ess of Windsor and American socialite, Wallis Simpson.
The 3,698-square-foot complex - which boasts six bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms - served as Miss O'Donnell's School when Wallis graced the property, according to the Baltimore Sun.
She would later return to the property to make tea with her old teacher, Ada O'Donnell Boone, the publication said
'You're not just purchasing a home; you're inheriting a legacy,' the Redfin listing reads.

Even more impressively, the home has 18 rooms and the new homeowner would only be the sixth owner of the property, according to Redfin. The sale is being brokered by Marc Cashin and Ashling McGowan.
But the North Calvert Street home was more than just Wallis' schoolhouse. Some of Baltimore's most prominent residents were welcomed inside and philanthropic fundraisers were held here, according to the listing.
The original owners, Sarah and Francis White, held fundraisers at the home for impoverished families and for children with special needs, The Baltimore Sun reported.
Despite the home being centuries old, it includes modern sophistication. Fifth owners 'meticulously' renovated the historic house in 2015 to add a new kitchen, bathroom, HVAC systems, plumbing, and electric that cost more than $350,000, according to Redfin.
'Experience the elegance of a bygone era, enhanced by the conveniences of modern living,' the listing reads.
The stained glass windows have also been restored along with the crystal chandeliers.

Simpson's old schoolhouse last sold in 2014 for $330,000.
Simpson was born in Blue Ridge Summit, Pennsylvania in 1896 and died in Paris, France in1986.
The American socialite married British King Edward VIII after he abdicated the throne in order to take her hand in marriage as she was a divorcee.
She divorced Navy pilot Earl W. Spencer in 1927 after nine years of marriage, according to Britannica.
She went on to marry American Ernest A. Simpson, who lived in England, in 1928. The pair lived near London, where Simpson would eventually meet Edward, who was then the Prince of Wales.
'I have found it impossible to carry the heavy burden of responsibility and to discharge my duties as King as I would wish to do without the help and support of the woman I love,' the then-King Edward VIII (pictured with Simpson in 1942) told the British public when he abdicated
The American socialite became friends with the royal and eventually fell in love, causing her to file for divorce from Simpson in 1936.
The British public, however, did not like Simpson being twice divorced and Edward eventually renounced his title in December 1936 in order to marry her.
'I have found it impossible to carry the heavy burden of responsibility and to discharge my duties as King as I would wish to do without the help and support of the woman I love,' he said in a famous radio broadcast, according to Britannica.
After abdicating, he became the Duke of Windsor.
When Simpson's divorce was finalized in 1937, the pair married in France on June 3, 1937.
