Welcome to the Holly House! Named after the beautiful mature Holly Trees in the large yard, this English Cottage style home is full of unique character and charm! It has been lovingly cared for by the same owner since 1959, and has many recent updates. Entering from the front, you'll be welcomed into a spacious living room that features a gas fireplace with built-in shelving and hardwood flooring under the carpet. The formal dining room has open access to a 4 seasons room with 3 walls of windows, providing views of the spectacular landscaping. There is an eat-at bar that is open to the functional kitchen. An addition was added in 1991 that includes a family room with a bay window and built-in cabinets, a full bathroom, a laundry closet with stackable washer/dryer, and a door to the back deck. An open staircase leads to the second floor where you'll find the spacious primary bedroom, bedrooms 2 and 3, and a full bath. Don't miss the door in the bathroom that leads to the third floor, which is not included in the listing square footage because there is not a heat source, but is fully finished and would be ideal space for a 4th bedroom, a craft room, or a studio. The basement is partially finished with a recreation room, a bathroom, a workshop area, and plenty of storage. The yard has been professionally landscaped with brick pavers winding through beautiful perennial flowers and bushes. Of course, there is a finished "Gardeners Folly" shed, with electric service, to store your gardening tools. Additional features in the home include beautiful hardwood floors, solid wood interior doors, a large attic storage space with access from a pulldown ladder in the garage or from a door on the second floor, and an irrigation system. Recent updates: complete roof tear off and new roof in 2015, new furnace and A/C in 2026, replaced plumbing line from upstairs to basement in 2026. This home is ideally located on a large lot in a family friendly neighborhood.
