Address: 135 Shepard Hill Road Holderness NH
Listed by Aaron Woods Badger Peabody & Smith Realty/Plymouth Cell: 603-236-1776
Description:
In a world of conformity, this is your chance to break the mold. Perched atop Shepard Hill in Holderness, this remarkable 1880s stone church--once a house of worship and a community gathering place--was transformed into a single-family home in the late 1970s and has been thoughtfully modernized ever since. Its character remains unmistakable: thick stone walls, heavy wooden beams, and stunning stained-glass windows that cast a soft, spring-green glow throughout the home. The great room features soaring 18-foot ceilings and exceptional acoustics, creating a dramatic yet inviting space. The main-level primary suite has been beautifully renovated with a custom bath and one-of-a-kind tile shower. Three additional bedrooms and a full bath are located on the second floor, where stained glass windows provide striking focal points at every turn. Enter through the original church doors and you're greeted by ornate stonework and craftsmanship rarely seen today. A central hallway leads to the great room and kitchen on one side, and the dining and sitting rooms on the other. The primary suite, laundry area, and half bath sit toward the rear of the home. An exercise room with a sunken hot tub connects the main house to the attached two-car garage. Outside, the property retains its timeless charm with lush perennial gardens surrounding a private, garden patio--perfect for quiet reflection or gatherings with friends and family. It's time to start your next adventure and follow the path less traveled!
