Perfectly set among Holden's most admired homes, this iconic residence offers a rare blend of irreplaceable antique character, generous living space and the modern updates buyers seek - without the wait or cookie-cutter feel of new construction. Just steps to Holden's favorite amenities, this home blends history with the way you live today. A flowing layout features dual staircases, inviting living areas, well-proportioned bedrooms & baths, a formal dining room for entertaining, and a warm, sun-filled family room. The spacious kitchen, with room for a full dining table, naturally becomes a gathering place & heart of the home, while a large mudroom w/laundry keeps daily life organized. Above the oversized 2-car garage, “The Nest” provides heated & A/C flex space for studio, office, gym or teen hangout, plus incredible walk-up attic storage. Set on nearly an acre with a private backyard, brick patio, and signature gazebo porch, this is a distinctive home that simply can't be duplicated.
