WELCOME TO HOLLIN HILLS
One level expanded 1800SF Unit 2 Goodman contemporary with two to three bedrooms and three additions features a thoughtful blend of mid-century and modern. The main living and dining space has the Hollin Hills hallmark walls of windows and massive brick fireplace plus original parquet floors. A sun room addition provides a second living space and includes access to a screened-in porch. The master bedroom includes a high-end en-suite bathroom addition with matte free-standing tub, walk-in shower, double vanity, commode niche, exposed brick wall, skylights and generous closet space. Additional updates include double pane windows throughout, new roof, and closet systems. The kitchen has original St Charles metal cabinets and a mix of new and vintage appliances. Outside, there are not one, but two, rare carports and a separate 600SF studio/workshop complete with water, HVAC, and electric. The private grounds include flat, grassy lawns, brick paths, multi-season plantings, and multiple tiered outdoor areas on over a half acre.
The historic community of Hollin Hills is comprised of approximately 450 mid-century modern homes designed and built by architect Charles Goodman and developer Robert Davenport. The homes are characterized by their large private wooded lots, sleek lines, and blending of interior and exterior vistas with their distinctive walls of windows. This close-knit community offers something for everyone from a book club to babysitting cooperatives to the Hollin Hills Orchid Society. Annual events such as the Fall potluck, the 4th of July picnic, Holiday caroling, and the bi-annual Hollin Hills House and Garden Tour bring together young and old alike and help to make this such a special place to live. The neighborhood was added to the National Register of Historic Places in September 2013. This provides formal recognition of the historic architecture and community planning of Goodman and Davenport and identifies nearly 475 contributing historic structures, including this house.
Hollin Hills is a neighborhood with covenants that govern your property. Any exterior modifications of your home will require approval from the Design Review Committee. For more information and copies of the covenants and DRC Guidelines, check out www.hollin-hills.org.
