Description

A 1920s Charmer, Thoughtfully Reimagined Welcome to 16 S Cedar Hollow Rd—an original 1920s bungalow that’s been fully transformed through a meticulous renovation inspired by LEED and Energy Star principles. The result is a truly special home that maintains its historic character while embracing modern efficiency and sustainable design. Step through the welcoming front porch into a sun-drenched Living/Family Room, where vaulted ceilings and a wall of windows create a light and airy space perfect for both relaxing and entertaining. The open layout seamlessly connects the Living and Dining areas to a well-appointed Kitchen with Cambria natural quartz countertops, low-formaldehyde IKEA cabinetry, center island, and Energy Star appliances. Glass sliders open to a rear Deck overlooking a generously sized, lush backyard complete with a rain garden designed to manage stormwater naturally and beautifully. Also on the main level is a functional Laundry Room and adjacent Powder Room, ideal for everyday living. The ground floor features two comfortable Bedrooms that share a full Bathroom featuring a clawfoot tub and separate shower stall, with a repurposed vintage door hung on barn-style hardware - an artful nod to the home's roots. A separate exterior entrance leads to the storage and utility room, which houses modern systems throughout, and there is also convenient interior access through a panel located inside one of the bedroom closets. This home underwent a full renovation down to the studs. All electrical and plumbing systems have been replaced, and the insulation package includes soy-based spray foam, GreenGuard-certified batting, and recycled-content panels. The original aluminum siding was removed and recycled, revealing beautifully restored cedar siding and roof rafter tails that were exposed and freshly painted. The roof was upgraded with highly reflective, Energy Star-certified shingles, and the new bronze-finished half-round gutters include leaf guards for low-maintenance living. High-performance Marvin Infinity Ultrex windows were installed throughout, and energy-efficient lighting, no-VOC paints, and WaterSense-certified bath fixtures contribute to the home’s eco-conscious profile. Heating is handled by a Buderus gas-fired system with a 98% efficiency rating, complemented by radiant baseboard panels, a Unico high-velocity air conditioning system, and a supplemental Mitsubishi split unit in the dining area. Additional recent upgrades include a newly installed asphalt driveway in 2022 with additional paving in 2024, a new AC air handler replaced in 2024, and the installation of Coretec luxury vinyl plank flooring in the bedrooms and hall in 2025. The home’s exterior was freshly painted, and the deck stained in 2024, enhancing its already timeless curb appeal. Set within a highly walkable community just half a mile from local shops, dining, and services, and offering easy access to regional and national transit options - including a nearby rail line and seven bus routes - this one-of-a-kind property blends charm, character, and conscientious design in a truly unmatched location.
