A short stroll to your own neighborhood beach, bike path, and blue-ribbon schools, The Walter J. Howland House is a 4 bed, 2 bath vintage-modern, Queen Anne colonial in idyllic Alfred Drowne. The bright and beautifully updated home flows with custom woodwork, high ceilings, original wood floors, and leaded glass accents. A fire-placed, double living room, traditional dining room, and a bonus den or efficient home office check all the boxes on the meandering first floor. And the spacious, sunny, eat-in family kitchen with open shelving, glass cabinetry, and tons of storage has sweet views of the semi-fenced, hidden back garden. A discreet in-law suite or second master bedroom, complete with a large full bath and a private entrance, enjoys access to a tranquil back porch. The character continues upstairs throughout the second floor, which offers three additional bedrooms, a walk-in closet, built-ins, and a marble-accented full bath with a classic, claw-foot tub. A detached two-car garage and an easy, natural landscape complete this picture-perfect setting in one of Barrington's most-coveted neighborhoods. More pictures to follow. ..
