Know your Holliston home
Holliston has older homes near its downtown and many capes, ranches and garrison colonials built from the 1950s to the 1980s.
Holliston's homes spread out from its historic downtown toward Lake Winthrop and the Upper Charles Trail, with older houses near the center and many capes, ranches and garrison colonials from the 1950s through the 1980s. Garrison colonials often have cold overhangs and bonus rooms that need targeted air sealing.
Middlesex County is the most populous county in New England, with dense older cities near Boston and larger single-family suburbs further west.
