Listing broker remarks

A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own one of the North Shore’s most architecturally significant estates. Commissioned in 1880 by merchant Thomas Howe & designed by Wait & Cutter, this commanding Queen Anne masterpiece has been meticulously restored, honoring its Gilded-Age grandeur while reimagining it for today’s discerning lifestyle. Spanning 10,820 sq ft across 4 levels, it offers 8 beds, 6.5 baths, a 3-car garage & a walk-out lower level with theatre & wine lounge. A grand entry hall with carved millwork, arched thresholds & paneled walls set the tone for richly layered interiors, while a refined coastal kitchen & light-filled spaces nod to modern comfort. Upstairs, find a serene primary suite, au pair quarters & a dramatic double-height library crowned by a tower with 360° ocean & skyline views capturing the artistry & soul of the home. With the Atlantic as its backdrop & Boston just 20 mins away, the Howe Mansion stands as a rare preservation of history & architectural legacy.— EVO Real Estate Group, LLC
