Property Description

Set among Holden's most admired homes and just steps from shops, cafés, restaurants, and town amenities, this beloved landmark property blends historic character with all the comforts and conveniences of modern living. Fully updated and impeccably maintained, it offers exceptional space for everyday living, holiday celebrations, and entertaining on any scale. The spacious, updated kitchen offers room for a farmhouse-style table and plenty of seating, creating a natural gathering place for holiday meals, game nights, and everyday connection. An entertainment-sized dining room, sun-filled living room, and cozy den with fireplace provide inviting spaces for everything from hosting Thanksgiving dinner to relaxing weekends at home. Generous bedrooms and a centrally located mudroom with laundry and half bath add comfort and convenience. Rich in character and history, the home has been comprehensively modernized with significant investments in windows, energy efficiency, and mechanical systems. CENTRAL A/C, whole-house air purification, and numerous updates deliver comfort and peace of mind. Above the oversized garage, "The Nest" offers incredible bonus space for a media room, home gym, studio, teen retreat, guest space, or future ADU. This fully climate-controlled area includes walk-up attic storage and endless flexibility. The nearly one-acre lot provides exceptional privacy and outdoor space rarely found in the heart of town. The fenced backyard is ideal for cookouts and lawn games, while the signature gazebo porch offers a welcoming place to enjoy a morning coffee or greet neighbors. Combining abundant living space, extensive updates, a walk-to-town location, and character that cannot be replicated, this is a truly special Holden property offering room to grow, gather, and create lasting memories. Home-Sweet-Home for the Holidays!
