29 Mill Rd, Durham, NH 03824

Property Description

Designed and built in 1922 by noted architect Eric T. Huddleston as his own family residence, 29 Mill Road is a distinctive New England Colonial with a meaningful connection to the architectural history of Durham and the University of New Hampshire. Set amid mature landscaping in the heart of Durham, the home reflects the character and craftsmanship of its era while offering the comfort and versatility of modern living. A gracious approach and classic façade give way to interiors with warm hardwood floors, generous proportions and abundant natural light. A curved staircase makes a memorable first impression, while inviting rooms create an easy flow for everyday living and entertaining. Host dinner in the elegant dining room, begin the day in the sun filled solarium wrapped in windows, or retreat to one of the home’s quieter spaces for reading, working or unwinding. Generously sized bedrooms and flexible living areas offer versatility for family and guests, home offices, fitness or creative pursuits. Since 2021, the current owners have made substantial investments throughout the property, updating many of the home’s major systems and amenities while carefully maintaining its original character. These improvements have been thoughtfully integrated, adding to the comfort of everyday living. Established gardens, mature plantings and inviting outdoor spaces offer opportunities to relax, entertain and enjoy the changing seasons. The setting feels private yet connected, with downtown Durham, UNH, restaurants, shops and trails close at hand and Portsmouth and the greater Seacoast within easy reach. Nearly a century after it was created as an architect’s own family home, 29 Mill Road remains a place to gather, unwind and feel at home-where timeless New England character meets the beauty of the changing seasons and the energy of life in Durham.
