Home sweet home! You can be on over 4 acres of secluded and quiet, just outside of central Madison. This 19th century farmhouse offers beautiful, original slate shingles atop its roof, and so many other character defining details! You’ll be able to enjoy a generous set of rooms, opstairs and on the main floor. The recent owner has installed HVAC that is properly run from the attic and cellar areas, so as not to disrupt the interior charm with ducting! The fenced in porch off of the main kitchen area is simply stunning, bright, and hospitable. There are so many features that will welcome you here. Photography of the home is delayed, but don’t hesitate to book your showings. An entrant is bound to love this property quickly!
