Built in 1850

The center of Pennington is lined with plenty of handsome 19th century homes, but the Thompson-Holcombe House stands out among them as a perfect example of the elegant Federal style with its central transom window and scrolled corbels. The herringbone brick walkway and fanciful picket fence only add to the allure. The property on which it stands is just as remarkable with a deep backyard, an oversized 2-car garage built in 2013 and an attractive shed, as well as native, pollinator-friendly gardens blooming in vibrant colors from spring through fall. Brick and stone patios lie just beyond French sliding doors from the dining room and kitchen for easy enjoyment. The interior has been updated and enlarged over the years, but many of the original 1850’s details remain intact. Wide plank floors, intricately plastered ceilings, and exposed brick nogging and hand-hewn framing never fail to enchant all who enter. The living room and library both have decorative fireplaces, while paneled arched doors introduce the serene, sunlit dining room. Meals can also be served right in the kitchen at the granite-topped island. While brick walls lend coziness to the family room, big windows and a skylight keep the vibe cheerful. Same goes for a first floor bedroom with a marble tiled bath and laundry room nearby. The upper bedrooms are also bright and roomy. Two share a bath with a seamless glass shower dressed in natural stone. The main suite, overlooking the backyard, has an elevated marble bathroom, complete with a deep soaking tub and furniture-style double vanity. Its two closets include a large walk-in. While the house has zoned central A/C, additional split units offer extra control and efficiency. The .73-acre lot is mere steps from cafes, salons, shops and The Pennington School, with the local elementary school just a bit further down the street.
