About This Home

Welcome to the John How House, said to be the only single family home adjacent to the Old Port. This fabulous brick home is overflowing with style and charm including original interior shutters and several fireplaces. The rare private fenced in yard is just the perfect city space with mature plantings including a wonderful Magnolia tree. The kitchen has a bold brick fireplace with a gas stove insert, stone counter tops, tons of cabinetry and wood beamed ceiling. The spacious dining room includes a built-in cabinet and flows beautifully into the kitchen. The double living room has two fireplaces and gorgeous wood floors. The powder room is close by. The second floor offers 4 rooms and a full bath, currently used as three bedrooms and an office. There is plenty of living space here. But wait until you reach the third floor. You won't want to leave it! This light filled sprawling primary suite offers soaring beamed ceilings, window seats, built ins, and a gas fireplace. The primary bath has water views, and the large bedroom has two closets and another window seat to relax on.
Need more space? The full basement is ready for you, with yes, another fireplace! The driveway has two electrical outlets ready for your car chargers. This home is a rare find on the peninsula and is a dream come true for the next stewards.
