About this home
Open House moved to Saturday (10/3). Welcome to 12 Howard Road — a twelve-acre bucolic retreat minutes from everything, yet feeling worlds away. Set along the serene shores of Howard Pond and the Abbott Run across four parcels sold together, this extraordinary Cumberland estate was lovingly cultivated by a Master Gardener of Rhode Island. Giant oaks and pines span the property on all sides, wild native plants emerge in glorious succession along the shoreline each spring and summer, and spectacular sunsets reflect across the water each evening. Magnificent blooming Dogwood trees, Japanese maples, and established gardens complete a setting of breathtaking, ever-changing beauty. The classic Colonial delivers five bedrooms and three-and-a-half baths with hardwood floors throughout, stone countertops throughout, and all bathrooms retiled within the last five years. A wood-paneled living room with exposed beams flows into an unexpectedly oversized eat-in kitchen, while a distinguished cherry office with built-in bookshelves and cherry floors adds a rare finishing touch. The fully self-contained in-law suite features a private entrance, full kitchen, bedroom, full bath, and a three-season porch with panoramic pond and backyard views. Outside, large bluestone patios, ample off-street parking across two driveways, and a four-car garage round out this truly rare Cumberland offering.
