179 Horse Pond Rd, Madison, CT 06443

Once upon a time in Madison, a HOME was built on a corner lot across from a pond. Almost 200 years later, it still graces this spot, acting as the beloved setting of its inhabitants stories. Located just minutes from the village and beaches, the yellow house with shutters and new wood shingle roof will catch your eye. Entering through its mudroom, you will come into a thoughtfully curated great room addition with old growth chestnut flooring and large rustic beams reclaimed from a farm in Ohio. The kitchen was updated by a master carpenter who carefully created a space that seamlessly kept the character while adding modern conveniences: an island, a 6 burner gas cooktop beneath an old brick archway, built-in refrigerator and concrete countertops. The keeping room serves as a cozy family room with its original beamed ceiling and large fireplace with beehive oven. A formal dining room is the perfect spot for holiday meals. A heated sunroom, currently used as an office, and a screened porch have been added to the back of the house, overlooking the private backyard complete with pool and spa. True to its early American heritage, a steep narrow staircase brings you to the 4 bedrooms on the second floor: master bedroom with walk in closet and full bath. and 3 comfortable bedrooms with another full bath. In the attic you will find a small carpeted bonus room and plenty of storage. Updated heating and central air add modern comfort. A true treasure!
