Approaching the property you will notice it is a handsome, 20x50 foot, end-of-row brick home with a stoop for you to decorate with the seasons. Upon entering, you will immediately be greeted by spectacular 14-foot ceilings and an open floor plan. The living room windows are impressive in size and feature top-down/bottom-up window treatments to allow maximum light into the home while also maintaining privacy. The living room melts into the large dining room and kitchen, making it the perfect home for hosting parties. The kitchen is every food-lover’s dream with a lot of gorgeous wood cabinets and black granite countertops. The large kitchen island is the perfect area to prepare dinners, bake, or eat breakfast.

Rounding out the first floor is a half bath and access off the kitchen to a large 20x50 foot backyard patio and private parking area which can fit up to 3 or 4 cars. This space is perfect for grilling with friends and nurturing a raised garden bed full of vegetables and flowers. On the second floor are two sizable bedrooms, ample closet space, and a full bath with a tub. Continuing up the broad and winding staircase, you will find an airy bonus room, perfect for an office, play area, or studio space. Through this room you can access a balcony with a view of trees and the city’s skyscapers. The third floor has another full bath that connects to the main bedroom. Throughout all three floors are gorgeously maintained hardwood floors. The final stop in the home is a stellar basement with tile flooring and generous ceiling height. The basement is split into two rooms: one is perfect for family hanging out and the other half for storage and laundry. The home has two central AC zones, both have been updated within the past two years. 1229 N Howard Street is centrally located to all your wants and needs.
