Full of character and charm, this classic 1850 Cape on 1.9 peaceful acres in Madison is ready for its next chapter. Owned by the same family since the 1920s, the home offers a solid layout and timeless details, with wonderful potential to update and make it your own. Antique home lovers will appreciate the wide pine floors, original woodwork, and vintage light fixtures, along with the attached barn that adds both history and versatility. Updates over the years include newer windows, a metal roof, and a 200-amp electrical panel, while some original knob-and-tube wiring remains in use for the antique light fixtures and the barn. With five bedrooms and two bathrooms, there's space to reimagine and restore. The attached barn is perfect for a workshop, studio, garage, or extra storage. The yard features a small stream, blueberry bushes, rhubarb, and established perennials, creating a peaceful and picturesque setting. The home will need a new heating system and will not qualify for FHA or VA financing. As a Madison resident, you’ll also enjoy access to scenic Silver Lake for swimming and boating. A special opportunity for antique home enthusiasts ready to bring new life to a piece of New England history.
