The Elms at 20 Harnden Street — Video Tour
20 Harnden Street, Wilmington, MA · 7 bd / 6 ba · $1,350,000 · MLS #73579413
This video tour takes you through The Elms, the circa-1795 Colonial at 20 Harnden Street in Wilmington, the way a showing does — room by room, at walking pace. You will see how a house built in 1795 lives today: formal rooms centered on its fireplaces, seven bedrooms upstairs and down, and six full baths worked into a floor plan that predates indoor plumbing by generations. The tour closes outside, where the 0.8-acre grounds give the house the setting a 230-year-old Colonial deserves.
The Elms is a circa-1795 Colonial offered at $1,350,000 (MLS #73579413). The numbers only tell part of it: 7 bedrooms, 6 bathrooms, and 8 fireplaces — eight — spread through a house that has stood on Harnden Street since the Washington administration. Homes of this age and size rarely reach the open market in this condition, and almost never with this much of their original character intact. The Elms is listed by Jeffrey Bowen of eRealty Advisors Inc; the full listing, with the complete photo set and showing details, is linked below.
Harnden Street sits in Wilmington, Massachusetts, and The Elms is the kind of property that anchors a street — the house neighbors know by name. For buyers drawn to Wilmington for its combination of historic housing stock and everyday practicality, a circa-1795 Colonial on 0.8 acres is the version of that move that almost never comes up. If you would like to walk it in person rather than on video, Jeffrey Bowen can arrange a private showing — contact details are at the foot of this page.
Attached apartment: The Elms includes an attached one-bedroom apartment — an accessory unit with its own kitchen, full bathroom, and private entrance and exit. It currently rents for $2,000 a month including utilities — $24,000 a year in income — and the tenants, two non-smokers with no pets who keep the place very clean, can stay or go at the buyer’s choice. In plain terms, the apartment’s rent covers the home’s property taxes and utilities. The math: $2,000 times 12 is $24,000 a year, and the property taxes run about $13,000 — the rent covers the taxes and the utilities with money left over. The apartment opens to a large rear patio, and the main house has its own large covered porch. A wraparound driveway serves both the house and the apartment.
Above-grade space, counted honestly: The seven bedrooms and six full bathrooms include the attached apartment, and all 4,220 square feet are above-grade living area — no basement or attic square footage is counted in the GLA.
Eight working fireplaces: All eight fireplaces work — every chimney is functional. The custom kitchen is finished with quartz counters, and with seven bedrooms the house sleeps 7 to 14 people, with extensive closet space and storage throughout.
