Johns Hopkins University professor James Harris says he and his wife thought they had found the perfect steward for their home of 27 years when they agreed to sell it to Calvert School in 2005. They were so delighted with the buyer, Harris said, that they sold the house for $400,000 less than its appraised value of $1.8 million and then donated $100,000 to the school to fund an educational program for students with special learning needs. But this fall, they're having misgivings about selling to the school, even though the large stone house at 200 Tuscany Road was built by its first headmaster, Virgil Hillyer.
