69 Island Ave Madison, CT 06443

This historic Colonial (circa 1887) home, located in the heart of Madison’s Shoreline community—with the LI Sound at one end of the street and the town green at the other—has been updated with numerous modern amenities while maintaining its New England charm. Starting with the welcoming front porch and cheery foyer, the first floor is open and bright, with original hardwood floors and large windows that accent the living room, dining room, and family room. The renovated kitchen, with a sunny eat-in area, boasts marble countertops, large farm sink, Jenn-Air gas stove, double-door stainless fridge and numerous pull-out drawers. This opens onto the family room, featuring an efficient wood-burning stove and sliding doors to a deck and beautiful, private backyard. The laundry room, mudroom, full bath, and spacious home office (large enough to be converted into a master bedroom) are conveniently located on the first floor. Upstairs are the master bedroom and bath, with a tiled walk-in shower, three additional bedrooms that share a full bath, and a cozy sitting room. The lengthy and private backyard includes a 2-story barn/garage and an additional outbuilding/workshop with electricity and wood-burning stove. The heating system for this home was recently converted to natural gas.
