Description

The Victorian That Refuses to Be Ordinary "Own the House Everyone Talks About" Some properties blend in. This one rewrites the script. Built in 1904 for Judge Amos Hollenbeck, this 3,561 sq ft Victorian is the rarest of finds: history that hasn't just been preserved, but elevated. When the home was restored in the early 2000s, the paintwork was returned to bold, period-appropriate colors - the kind of statement hues Victorians are meant to be seen in. Pair that with stained glass that spills rainbows across hardwood floors and a grand staircase designed for unforgettable entrances, and you've got a home that insists on being noticed. Cathedral ceilings soar overhead, sunlight pours in, and modern upgrades make it practical as well as stunning: solar panels (2021), gigabit internet, a private sauna, greenhouse, and raspberry bushes that practically beg to be bottled into jam. And then comes the showstopper: the neighbors. While most houses offer fences and driveways, this one gives you Trinidad State College. Imagine: Friday night basketball and weekend theater without getting in the car. A library and bookstore at your disposal - more stories, more learning, more life. Rentable halls and theaters for the kind of gatherings people will talk about for years. Campus security, lights, and green space that turn your cul-de-sac into one of the safest, most walkable spots in town. This is not a starter home. It's not a compromise. It's the dream home for someone who knows exactly who they are: bold, curious, maybe even a little eccentric - and unwilling to settle for less than remarkable. Offered at $595,000. This isn't just a place to live. It's a place to be remembered.
