Greek Revival masterpiece! You can enjoy the best of old and new with this classic reproduction home on the “Old Post Road” in Madison’s acclaimed Historic District.
Historic home lovers will recognize the iconic “four over four” interior layout with wide center hallway. The entry hall is 10ft wide and runs the depth of the home, wide plank pine floors reclaimed from an old box car. Formal dining room and parlor are left and right through graceful archways creating an open feel. Both rooms are a spacious 16ft by 17ft with 10ft high ceilings, with wood burning fireplaces. 6ft tall windows echo traditional form, but the double pane construction means energy efficiency.
The kitchen adjoins the dining room, of course. You’ll love the warmth of this room – brick floors, wood burning fireplace with massive brick hearth, simple wood cabinets, and butcher block countertops. The center cooking island includes an electric range with grilling top, and breakfast bar. The cabinets include a pair of lazy susan corner units, plus a large fold out pantry unit. Under cabinet lights add a soft ambiance.
Also on the main floor is a spacious study with built in bookcases and storage cabinets, and a powder room. The screen porch on the backside overlooks a seasonal creek, and is the perfect spot for morning coffee.
Upstairs is the private bedroom level – your master suite begins with a spacious 16ft x 17ft bedroom with gas fireplace. The ensuite bath includes a jetted soaking tub with separate shower, and double vanity with tile countertops. Storage is plentiful, with a large walk-in closet and built-in wall storage unit.
The front guest bedroom room is also a spacious 16ft x 17ft with gas log fireplace, and private entrance to the second full bath. This bath has hallway access also, and includes a large walk-in shower, pedestal sink, and linen closet. The second guest bedroom is 13.6ft x 14ft, with a large double closet. Zoning would allow the home to be used as a bed and breakfast.
The grounds include a circular pea gravel drive and a detached two-car garage. The 3330sf home was built in 1987, and is in excellent condition, with newer roof, water heater, and HVAC units. Owner reports that utility bills average under $200 per month.
Ths lovely home can be yours for just $525,000.
