Property Description

Located in the heart of downtown Howell, this enchanting 1887 home offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of history where timeless character meets everyday comfort. From the moment you arrive, pride of ownership is unmistakable. Inside, the home unfolds with warmth and grace. Soaring 9- and 10-foot ceilings, original wide-plank heart-of-pine floors and pristine woodwork throughout reflect enduring craftsmanship. The main level offers an elegant flow for entertaining and daily living, with formal dining & living rooms featuring timeless pocket doors, a cozy family room, and a richly detailed library - complete with original crystal lighting. A charming fireplace anchors the dining room, while the “summer kitchen” serves as a convenient first-floor laundry. Upstairs, four spacious bedrooms offer comfort and flexibility, each with ample storage. Former maid's quarters and back staircase provide added living or storage space, with a glimpse into the home's past. In addition, the restored 1887 carriage house (400 sq. ft) features a classic horse stall adapted for single-car parking with an electric door opener - blending history with convenience. Thoughtful updates provide peace of mind without compromising character. Electrical systems have been modernized, mechanical updates include a furnace & central air (2009), tankless water heater, and newer interior sewer line. The basement with walkout cellar door has been refreshed with leveled concrete and rebuilt stairs. Outdoors, mature fruit trees & perennial gardens create a picturesque setting, while the expansive corner lot offers space to relax or entertain. Just steps from dining and shopping, with direct proximity to Page Field and Thompson Lake Park - and the benefit of two annual park passes - this lifestyle is as appealing as the home itself. More than a home, it is a retreat steeped in history, where every detail reflects a legacy of care and craftsmanship, ready to welcome its next chapter. List of updates in photos.
