17 Howe Ave, Shrewsbury, MA 01545

Built by Frank Howe in 1939, this stately Colonial has an impressive curb appeal. It is solidly sited on the rise of a gentle slope, with mature landscaping and a classic facade.The living room spans the left side of the home with a fireplace surrounded by custom built shelving and a long mantel. A spacious dining room has plenty of wall space and can seat a table of six generously. The kitchen is equipped with original steel cabinets and stainless steel counter tops. Hardwood floors, protected for years by carpeting, now glow with rich luster in most of the home. The breezeway connects the house to the garage with plenty of room for storage, closets, and multiple windows, and opens to a flagstone patio in the back. A wide staircase leads to a huge master bedroom with ample closets, a second roomy bedroom, and a third smaller bedroom. The finished basement has cedar closets, laundry area and bar. There is a large loft area above the garage for storage. Some cosmetic updates needed.
