This exceptional property is a rare treasure in the historic district. Nestled in the heart of town, 6 Howard Street offers a private & quiet location yet is only minutes from the hustle and bustle of Main Street. This very special property features a meticulously maintained primary residence with 5 BRS, 5.5 baths, a beautiful 3 BR, 2 bath guest cottage and a garage on the 8400 sf lot with off street parking. Quality craftsmanship, custom details and beautiful design elements are evident throughout. The magical and intimate gardens feature bountiful perennial plantings and mature trees, providing the utmost privacy. The beautiful grounds are accentuated by exceptional stone work, including stone walls, walkways and patio seating areas. The "ITHAKA" quarter board & weathervane are excluded.
