43 Middle Beach Rd, Madison, CT 06443

In the very earliest days of summering on Madison's Middle Beach Rd, this iconic beach house, known as "Big Neptune" was built at the corner of Park Avenue. Designed to capture the breeze, and with an immediate view of Tuxis Island, the wrap around porch outdoes most others for size. A lush green lawn wraps the house, rose and other flower gardens, beautiful stone walls. This very authentic waterfront home has 11 ft ceilings (first floor) and 10 ft ceilings upstairs. Natural beadboard and beautiful wood floors throughout. Oversized french doors on two sides of the "Great Room" lead to the porch. Original blown glass decorative windows share light while providing privacy.The kitchen is roomy, and the dining room captures water views. A curved banister leads you upstairs to an oversized landing connecting to an enclosed porch with large glass windows. Once an airy vintage sleeping porch, this room is a focal point offering dramatic, expansive and unobstructed waterviews. A balanced floorplan, the second floor offers two bedrooms on each side of the house and one full family bath. In addition, one north bedroom has a cozy 1/2 bath. All bedrooms provide great views of the Sound and coastline. Ample attic space for storage. A separate laundry/storage area is just off the back steps, outdoor shower. A partial basement offers head room and good space for mechanicals. The separate 2 car garage may be ideal storage for small boats and gear if you choose. Prof. photos to follow.
