A note from the owners of 183 Range Road - "Our family has created so many fantastic memories at the Holmes House! The original structure was built c.1860 and is steeped in history & timeless New England charm with stunning features such as the oversized hearth, wide-plank floors, beamed ceilings & an original staircase. The later additions & updates maintain architectural integrity but provide all the modern conveniences. Set on 1.5 acres, the property has many beautiful plantings & an expansive lawn where on many occasions, our children have celebrated with dozens of friends. We've hosted Thanksgiving dinner with 24 guests seated at the table & preparing the meal in our newly renovated chef's kitchen with gas cooking & stainless-steel appliances was pure joy. The large family room is our favorite spot to gather for movies, games & quiet evenings at home. The primary bedroom suite features a full bath & walk-in closet. There are 4 more bedrooms of varying sizes plus 2 additional full baths, an office, mudroom with loads of closet space & a laundry room. Farmers at heart, we built a greenhouse & installed a vegetable garden, chicken coop (love the fresh eggs) & bunny hutch. Nights around the fire pit are the best! The large barn provides workshop or studio possibilities & exceptional storage. Central air services part of the home. Being close to Wilton Center, schools, the train & major routes has been so convenient. We hope you will enjoy the Holmes House as much as we have!
