About This Home

As of February 2024

Resting on a peaceful street lined with mature trees and stately character homes, each more stunning than the last, 975 S Madison Ave blends timeless elegance, handsome details, and serene natural beauty to create the perfect sanctuary. Part of the magic comes from the neighborhood, Madison Heights, where the surroundings are so picturesque it feels like you're in a movie. And that's no surprise because the iconic Father of the Bride House is just around the corner. Now, your fairytale ending awaits in this classic 1911 bungalow that includes a retreat-like backyard with a pool, spa, and guest house. Inside, you'll delight in the light, airy ambiance that provides a lovely counterpoint to the many artful, vintage accents found throughout. Fine built-in cabinetry, honey-hued hardwood floors, and elegant moldings lend exceptional charm, while huge windows showcase the sublime landscape from every vantage. For sophisticated entertaining, the grand living room with a fireplace and adjacent dining room answer the call, while an immensely comfortable family room is ideal for casual repose. You'll enjoy informal dining and Saturday morning pancakes in the light-filled kitchen, which flows out to the private backyard where lovely terraces, a pergola, and a sparkling pool with a spa and waterfall set an enchanting scene. The bright and spacious guest house in the rear further adds to the allure of this beautiful bungalow--the perfect place to create your own 'happily ever after.'
