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.
