2582 State Highway 345 Madrid, NY 13660

Iconic, stately, colonial style home on large corner lot with beautiful southern view of the Adirondack Foothills. This Madrid home, a former stagecoach inn, with big white pillars is a definite standout in this quaint village setting. This 1850's house boasts over 2050 square feet of living space. There are so many interesting features in this home for those who love the look and feel of an older home and have the passion for refurbishing, this one has it all. For those that like the location, footprint and structure, maybe more of a full overhaul is the desire. Whatever the interest, this house will make someone a beautiful, forever home. Enter through the front door into a foyer facing the staircase, to the left is a large formal parlor and to the right a living room. The exceptionally large kitchen/dining room sits to the backside of the home and has a large butler’s pantry. Check out the lovely built-in China cabinet, which includes a slot for the family silverware. A small downstairs bedroom (currently used as an office) with 1/2 bath is situated off the kitchen. There is a large, summer porch with gorgeous, original, hardwood floors and wall to wall windows off one side of the kitchen and a small side porch entrance facing CR 14. Upstairs has three large bedrooms, 15 x 12, 13 x 13, and 17 x 14. One full bathroom with standup shower at the top of the stairs. There is an added small "bedroom" (accessed only through the 3rd bedroom) that also has access to a large closet/storage nook. Every room has original plank wood floors under the carpet, and some exceed 24" in width (see photos). Crown molding and 8" base molding with cap in each room, as well as several plank doors. The windows are all new, but the casements are original wood frames. The stone basement appears dry and has a dirt floor. For some real historic interest, there is an original 1850's stone fireplace, with very deep stone hearth, which was used for cooking at one time down there. The lot is large, 1.5 acres, and has many large maple trees, in addition there are three storage sheds in addition to garage set up with a furnace, and one long storage garage. There is a springhouse on the lot, but the floor is unsafe at this time, so can only be viewed via door. The driveway is paved and has the potential for full circle driveway, base is there for exit onto CR 14. Be sure to look to the south and take in a stunning view of the hills in the distance.
