240 High Street

ONE OF THE MOST SCENIC LOCATIONS IN MADISON: Situated on 15+/acres of open fields and woods looking easterly to the hills and mountains beyond sits this circa 1900 farmhouse with attached ell and 33 x 33 two-story barn. One of the present owners grew up on this property when it was a milking farm and has seen to it that it has been well maintained and updated over the years. The house features lovely maple floors, an efficient kitchen with lots of wood cabinetry, plaster walls in good condition, a separate living room and dining room, and three spacious bedrooms. There are two sunrooms, one looking directly over the fields out to the rolling hills. The second is on the south side of the house and gets sun much of the day. The primary bedroom and bath are on the first floor. There are two spacious second-floor bedrooms with closets and built-ins. The land is in current use. The woods were timbered 25+ years ago. The house has an older septic system and a dug well, which have been sufficient for the present owners. In recent years, the owners have lived in the house only six months a year. The house will need some improvements for year-round living and will eventually need a new septic, but it is a gem as it presently sits. Home is being sold furnished, minus personal items. The detached barn is fabulous, with a metal roof and a recently improved roof structure on the western side. Animals lived in the barn for many years, and the milk was processed in the lower level of the house. If you like older homes, this is a must-see!
