Built in 1892, the Francis E. Howard house is a magnificent estate nestled on 3.65 acres. Craftsmanship abounds in every corner, with hand-carved balusters, solid oak wainscoting, and ceilings reaching nearly 10 feet high. The attention to detail extends to the library, boasting a cozy gas stove, a formal dining room with oak wainscoting and built-in china cabinet, and a living room with a distinctive rounded wall and fireplace. A spacious family room connects to the carriage house, while the kitchen impresses with its expansive layout, including a walk-in pantry, a 15' laundry room w/soapstone sinks, and a butler's pantry. Upstairs, five generous bedrooms await, along with a full bathroom and an unfinished room offering potential. The walk-up attic features wood floors, electricity, & stairs to the widow's walk. The massive carriage house/barn features horse stalls, multiple rooms spanning three levels. All ceilings & 4 rooms freshly painted. Roof replaced in approx 2021.
