Home Details for 382 Porter Street

Exquisite home built circa 1840's in Madison's Historic District. You won't find a more beautiful home on the market in this price range in Madison today! From the spacious front porch enjoy your morning coffee or watch in the evening as neighbors stroll by; to the magnificent gardens in the back of the home; the special and original features abound. All the doors throughout the home, (excluding one) are original pine doors from the mid 1800's. The hardwood floors throughout are original and have been meticulously maintained. Each room, including all 3 bedrooms (all very nice size) have their own working fireplace. All are gas with gas starters except for the kitchen fireplace which is wood burning. Enter the home into an expansive front hall with high wood ceilings. (The wood ceilings are featured throughout the home and are pickled in thel living room). Above the original front door a transom light allows the sun to shine through giving light through to the living room. The front of the home that includes the entry hall, dining room, and front bedroom/library were added sometime after the original home was built. French doors with large window panes at the back of the living room lead to the large screened in porch over looking the gardens in the back of the home are breathtaking! Huge camellias and boxwoods accent the yard with a fountain in the center. The backyard is completely fenced in. There is a 6 zone irrigation system that helps maintain its beauty year round. Truly a gardener's dream. Back inside the dining room reminds us of the days of dinners with family and friends, seating comfortably at least 12. The kitchen features marble countertops, tiled backsplash, custom kitchen cabinets that are ceiling height, additional open shelving and an eat in breakfast area. Off the kitchen is a large laundry room with an exterior exit to the backyard as well. Surprisingly for the age of the home, there is an abundance of closet and storage space. A detached two car garage, a rarity in the Historic District, is located to the side of the backyard. Beautifully maintained, this is home is waiting for its next owner to love it as much as the current owner.
