About This Home

Howard House (1829), regarded as one of the most exceptionalexamples of a Federal home in central NH and VT, boasts carefulpreservation and restoration (most recently by Housewright Construction),as well as the subtle introduction of modern conveniences, including central air.This home, surrounded by 14 acres of well-tended trees and landscaping, enjoys the northernmost location of Orford’s nationally recognized row of 7 Federal houses paralleling the Connecticut River. This perch affords a dramatic, unimpeded view up the valley over fields and historic Orford cemetery, as well as a separate westward vista over well-designed perennial beds to the spectacular Palisade across the river. Behind the house there is open lawn, specimen trees, a tennis court, a heated Hartley greenhouse that’s accessible directly from the house, and a fenced-in vegetable garden.Numerous eye-catching architectural details include generously proportioned rooms, lofty ceilings, a stunning spiral staircase, De Gournay ‘Early View of India’ wallpaper, and decorative painting on walls and cabinetry. In addition, there are charming private quarters with a separate entrance.The property is quite private and yet within 3-minute drive to a Connecticut Riverboat landing, the Lake Morey Resort, 3 restaurants, 2 markets, conserved trails for hiking, and I-91 for a 20-minute trip to the Hanover Green.A rare chance to own an extraordinary historic house on lush grounds in a picturesque river town.
