Long believed to be the oldest home in Madison (c.1675) recent research reveals the possibility of a slightly later birthdate, (c.1720). Add your own history to this fascinating landmark property across from the Town Green on this LARGE, 1.3 acre site. A perfect example of the Colonial saltbox style this home has been featured in many books & articles on period homes. A true piece of New England history yet very warm & liveable. When the locally prominent Dudley family owned the property they entertained George Washington. That was the Spring of 1776 -the home was operated as a tavern and reputedly offered the best food in then "East Guilford". For the purist, there is plenty to love. For modern use, the house is remarkably comfortable and easily adapts to improvements and updates. Original fireplaces, corner cupboards, wide plank floors, paneling, beams, and hand wrought hardware are just some of the original touches lovingly respected and preserved down through the generations. This is the beautiful white, wood roofed house with the charming decorative fence that defines the south side of Route One, bordered by picturesque Island Avenue. Be a part of the New England village experience-the 4th of July parade route will come just by your front gate, and you are only steps to all that downtown has to offer. Find yourself walking to everything, including LI Sound! See virtual tour for floor plan.
