Description: Step into the past with this beautifully preserved Victorian home in the heart of Hollow Ridge. Built in 1894, this 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom property offers the perfect blend of historic charm and modern convenience. With original hardwood floors, intricate woodwork, this home exudes warmth and character. Set on a spacious 0.75-acre lot adorned with mature oaks, the property offers both privacy and a picturesque setting.

The home features a large parlor with a marble fireplace, and antique light fixtures that evoke a sense of timeless elegance. The updated kitchen comes with modern appliances while retaining vintage touches such as a cast iron stove. The formal dining room is ideal for entertaining guests. It is also perfect for more intimate candlelit dinners. The previous owners reported it is especially enchanting during evenings with a full moon.

Second Floor: Upstairs, you’ll find three spacious bedrooms, including the master suite with an en-suite bathroom and a sitting area. The third bedroom features a cozy reading nook and custom bookshelves—perfect for those who appreciate a good ghost story. The main bathroom boasts a claw-foot tub and a view of the garden, making it a lovely spot to relax.

Unique Features:

• Detached carriage house with potential as a guest suite, studio, or workshop (currently used for storage, reportedly contains historical curiosities).
• Original attic space that’s perfect for storage or a home office. It also offers potential for conversion into a fourth bedroom. Just be sure to mind the creaky steps.
• The basement includes an original root cellar. It also has a “canning room.” People rumor it was used for other, less culinary purposes over the years.
• The garden is fully fenced. It features an old stone well—a local landmark affectionately known as the “Witch’s Well”. The current owner assures us it’s been sealed for years.

Special Considerations: The house has been well-maintained. However, it comes with a few “quirks” typical of historic Hollow Ridge properties. Some residents have reported occasional cold spots. They have also mentioned unusual creaking sounds and faint whispers that seem to emanate from the walls. Rest assured, these are considered part of the home’s charm and add to its historical character. The town’s local spiritualist is available for a consultation if desired.

Location: Located just two blocks from Main Street, this house is within walking distance of local favorites like Hollow Ridge Cafe, The Witch’s Haven, and the annual Demon’s Day Festival. Perfect for those who appreciate a tight-knit community with a little bit of supernatural flair.
