The Granville
The Granville
The Granville is a boutique 24-residence building at 87 Washington Street in downtown Haverhill — an adaptive reuse of the historic Rugg Building, a former textile mill, completed in 2019. The restoration kept the bones that make mill conversions special: exposed brick and beams, high ceilings, and an industrial character you can’t build from scratch. It’s modern living with a genuinely historic flair, four stories tall, right in the heart of the city’s downtown revival.
The residences are 1- and 2-bedroom homes with open floor plans, high ceilings, and hardwood flooring. Kitchens feature granite countertops and energy-efficient appliances. Every home has an in-unit washer and dryer, individually controlled heat and cooling with Nest smart thermostats, and extra storage space. The result is a loft-style apartment home that works as well for a young professional as it does for a downsizer looking for walkable downtown living.
The building itself is professionally managed with 24-hour maintenance, an elevator, and ground-floor cafe and retail space — so coffee and errands start downstairs. Pets are welcome within posted restrictions. And the location is a commuter’s asset: the Haverhill commuter rail station is about a three-minute walk away, putting Boston within train range, while downtown Haverhill’s restaurants, shops, and riverfront are right outside the door.

Living in Haverhill means a real downtown with a river running through it — the Merrimack River waterfront, a walkable Washington Street corridor, and a commuter rail line to Boston all in one city. Haverhill sits near the New Hampshire border, so tax-free shopping is a short drive, and the city’s mill buildings keep attracting new restaurants, breweries, and loft living. The Granville sits right in the middle of it.
