Imagine coming home to a garden paradise. A place where the city and country converge. Welcome to the Howard House. Built in 1904 on an oversized, lushly landscaped lot, this 3-story architect-owned home with 5 bedrooms and 3 full baths has been lovingly restored. A reconfigured main floor offers ideal spaces with tall ceilings for large gatherings or quiet reflection. Highlights include a massive living room, spacious den and gourmet kitchen that feature turn of the last-century antique chandeliers, arched doorways and farmhouse detailing. French doors open out onto a wide wrap-around porch. The upper floor offers a vaulted ceiling open beamed primary suite with an additional bedroom or work space with a loft. The light-filled lower floor has an attached dwelling equipped for separate rental use, guests or recreation. Enjoy character galore with all new wiring, plumbing, heating and security systems thoughtfully updated while maintaining a charming vintage ambiance. The over-sized 11,448 square foot property offers an expansive garden compared to most in-City options. The fully fenced yard boasts a raised vegetable garden, mature cherry trees, an espaliered apple tree and working greenhouse. An ornamental goldfish pond and Japanese stone lantern along with a wide variety of roses, wisteria, olive tree and lilac trees create a beautiful garden oasis. After 122 years, this gardener's dream still delights.
