About This Home

As of June 2026

Step into a piece of history with this stately Federal-style home, built in 1837 and ideally located in the heart of downtown Madison’s historic district. Known as “The Bright House,” this distinguished residence was once owned by Jesse Bright, Indiana’s 9th Lieutenant Governor and U.S. Senator. Rich in character and timeless appeal, the home showcases 7 fireplaces, original hardwood floors, intricate plaster ceiling medallions, and elegant crown moldings throughout. Offering 4 spacious bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms, the home blends historic charm with modern functionality. The main level features a living room, formal dining room, kitchen, breakfast room, laundry room and a flex room that could be used as a Bedroom, den or office offering versatile living options. The custom cherry kitchen is thoughtfully designed with an island and stainless steel appliances. Enjoy abundant natural light throughout, as well as two stunning two-story side porches that overlook beautifully landscaped grounds, an established herb garden and a private brick courtyard—creating a serene outdoor retreat. Additional highlights include an oversized 2-car garage with loft storage and a floorplan that honors the home’s original design while offering comfortable, livable spaces. Meticulously maintained, this grand residence is a rare opportunity to own a true Madison landmark.
