About this home
Set among Holden's most admired homes and just steps from shops, cafes, and popular town amenities, this immaculate, fully updated landmark property offers abundant living space, modern conveniences, and a coveted center-of-town location. A well-designed floor plan makes it easy to live, work, spend time together or enjoy a little space of your own. The spacious kitchen easily accommodates a family-sized table and serves as a natural hub for holidays, celebrations, game nights, and every moment in between. An entertainment-sized dining room, sun-filled living room, and cozy den with fireplace set the stage for everything from large gatherings to lazy weekends in pajamas, while generous bedrooms and a centrally located mudroom with laundry and half bath add comfort & convenience to your daily routine. Rich in character & history, this home has been comprehensively updated for modern living. Significant investments in windows, energy efficiency, and mechanical systems - including CENTRAL A/C and whole-house air purification - provide comfort and peace of mind while preserving the warmth and craftsmanship that give older homes their lasting appeal. Above the oversized garage, "The Nest" offers incredible bonus space with endless possibilities. Whether it's the ultimate teen hangout, media room, home gym, studio, or future ADU, this fully climate-controlled retreat, complete with walk-up attic storage, is destined to become everyone's favorite spot. Outside, the nearly one-acre lot offers exceptional privacy and outdoor space not typically found in the heart of town. The fenced backyard is ready for outdoor fun, while the signature gazebo porch offers a welcoming spot to greet neighbors, enjoy a morning coffee, or simply watch the seasons change. With abundant living space, modern conveniences, a walk-to-town location, and character, quality & individuality that can't be duplicated, this is a very special property. If you're seeking room for a growing household, multigenerational living, future income potential, or simply a home with a story to tell, this iconic Holden property is not to be missed....
