In my last blog, I mentioned I would discuss my listing in Madison. It’s located on the corner of Woodland and Prospect, a few blocks walk to the Madison Train Station and the down town area. To view this extraordinary property, please click here.
I have a real interest in antique homes, especially of classical design. This house, built in 1905, has many classical features found in the Georgian style. Symmetry is the hallmark of the style and is evident in many exterior features of this house such as: double chimneys, complimentary side pergola’s, use of equal number of columns, window count; five horizontal second floor windows and four horizontal first floor windows with the front door in the middle. Many interior details continue the theme. What I love about older homes is the intangible sense of being home, particularly when you walk through the door and are greeted by a solid, serene, and sophisticated presence. Next time I will talk about the train and transportation, among other things.
