Steeped in history and quiet grandeur, the John M. Holman House, built in 1913, stands as one of Pittsburg’s enduring treasures within its Historic District. Featured in books and films, this remarkable 4,758-square-foot residence offers 8 bedrooms and 6.5 baths on a beautifully maintained .37-acre lot, where every space tells a story.
A historic plaque hints at its legacy, while the stately columned porch welcomes you into a home rich with character. Inside, original pine hardwood floors, soaring ceilings, intricate millwork, and timeless lighting create an atmosphere of warmth and elegance. A grand staircase leads past a preserved hallway tapestry, a beautiful reminder of the home's storied past.
The main level features a gracious parlor and sitting room with wood-burning fireplaces, a formal dining room, private study, and inviting gathering spaces. Upstairs, a light-filled common area opens to a balcony overlooking the grounds.
With six bedrooms upstairs and two downstairs, the layout offers exceptional versatility. Four full baths are upstairs, with two full baths and a half bath downstairs. Several bedrooms feature private or adjoining bath access, while two charming sitting rooms connect to adjoining bedrooms, reflecting the home's former use as a bed and breakfast.
The kitchen beautifully balances historic charm and modern convenience with marble countertops, custom cabinetry, a gas range, and stainless steel appliances. Thoughtful updates, including HVAC, water heaters, and 200-amp electrical service, enhance everyday comfort while preserving the architectural character that makes this century-old treasure truly extraordinary.
