Built in 1854 for the Chittenden family, this historic Madison home sits on a beautifully landscaped, level one-acre lot and blends classic New England charm with modern upgrades. The main residence features three bedrooms on the second floor, plus a finished third-floor loft that serves as a fourth bedroom, office, or playroom. A highlight is the detached oversized garage with a connected studio suite and full bath-ideal as a guest house, gym, studio, or office. The interior has been meticulously restored, including windows, doors, and moldings, with fully updated HVAC, plumbing, and electrical systems. The formal living room includes hardwood floors, wood-burning fireplaces, and custom built-ins. The dramatic dining room boasts vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, a stone fireplace, and wide-plank floors. A sunlit kitchen features garden views on three sides, granite counters, stainless appliances, and opens to a deck overlooking the yard. A den with built-ins, family room, and full bath complete the first floor. Upstairs, the primary suite has vaulted ceilings with skylights, carpet, and a spa-style bath with sauna shower. Two additional bedrooms with hardwood floors share a tiled bath with claw-foot tub. A bonus room offers flex space. The finished third-floor loft adds even more. Just minutes from beaches, shops, dining, trails, trains, and highways-this is a rare chance to own a piece of Madison history with space to live, create, and entertain.
