About This Home

Step into timeless charm with this beautifully maintained Folk Victorian-era home in the heart of Madison, Florida. Rich in character, this stunning property showcases intricate gingerbread trim, gleaming refinished heart-of-pine hardwood floors, and four cozy gas fireplaces that create a warm, inviting atmosphere throughout. The main home offers three spacious bedrooms, two bathrooms, a versatile office or optional fourth bedroom, formal living and dining rooms, and a generously sized laundry room. Thoughtfully updated with a new roof, updated wiring, all-new HVAC systems, fresh exterior paint, and a Generac generator installed in 2025, this home perfectly blends historic elegance with modern convenience. Adding even more value is the attached one-bedroom, one-bath apartment—ideal for guests, rental income, or a private mother-in-law suite. Outside, enjoy a fenced backyard designed for both relaxation and productivity, featuring a gardening area, covered sitting space, and convenient access from both the main house and apartment. A new garage/workshop adds functionality, while the option to purchase the home furnished makes this a truly turnkey opportunity. Located within walking distance to downtown and less than 10 minutes from I-10 and 25 minutes to I-75, this exceptional property offers small-town charm with easy accessibility. This is more than a home—it’s a rare opportunity to own a piece of history with all the comforts of today.
