Cascading waterfall that calms the soul as water flows over big beautiful boulder rocks! A feature very few homes have and why i am mentioning it first......a private oasis in your own backyard, surrounded by nature; trees the perfect stature with irises and mixture of select native plants. A brick courtyard and screened in porch so you can enjoy this peaceful setting year round....right in the middle of town! Speaking of middle of town, take it literally!!! You are in the heart of Madison, grocery, Dr's, shops, schools, restaurants, all just a couple of minutes away! There is not a more convenient neighborhood! And......before you ever get inside, this exquisite home has yet another living space in the front!!! Overlook the small neighborhood lake right off the front courtyard that is reminiscent of old New Orleans!! This quaint front patio has an especially beautiful view in the evening, when the fountains in the middle of the pond come on, a wonderful way to begin the ''end'' of the day at home! Step inside to am impressive foyer that shows off the formal dining room, the wrought iron banister and the large ( what is used now as a home study/office ) but because of the large closet and builtins: I am calling it a 5th bedroom; it can be used for either or for another bonus room if you don't need the study or another bedroom. The architecture of the brick archways are elegant ,yet charming, something you see as soon as you walk in!! The family room overlooks the screened in back porch and has a doublesided fireplace that opens up into the large combination of keeping room, breakfast are and a magnificent kitchen: a chefs delight!!! the seller actually used to cater from this kitchen! The Kitchen-Aid double ovens are larger than most, they had to fit the largest cake pans so they were custom ordered. The 6 burner gas range by Jenn-Air, the ice maker and wine/beverage refrigerator, as well as the separate pantry and wet bar will make life easier!! The kitchen has tons of storage as well as a built-in buffet and china cabinet! The primary bedroom is downstairs as well as one ( or 2,depending on how its used ) other bedrooms. Upstairs are secondary bedrooms with large closets, a full bathroom w double sinks and a great sitting area that is used as a TV lounge area by the sellers! There is a 1/2 barth off of the kitchen, a 3 car garage, tall ceilings, some with beautiful stained beaded board, and the home is located directly across from the neighborhood pond, only a few steps from the swimming pool, in the absolute most convenient neighborhood!! New roof March 2024. Come see it!! They prefer the day before notice or at least a few hours!!
