Overview

Description

Perched above the sidewalk on one of the most architecturally significant streets in Heritage Hill Historic District, 228 Madison Ave makes a striking first impression with her grand porch and 3-story rounded tower. This well-appointed Queen Anne Victorian blends modern function with preserved mahogany woodwork, oak floors, period fixtures, stained glass, and two original-tiled fireplaces. The main floor features rounded focal walls/windows, 10'+ ceilings, original pocket doors, dual living rooms, an updated eat-in kitchen, and a sizable laundry/mudroom/prep kitchen (a rare amenity for age of home!). Many windows have been restored with weights intact. Upstairs, remodeled primary and secondary baths feature Carrara marble and heated floors. The large finished attic offers flexible rec space for varying lifestyle needs, and the large basement has tall ceilings and ample storage space. Out back, you'll find a lovely terraced lawn and parking space for 2-3 vehicles. Don't miss this one!
