Walking distance from downtown Madison, passing the pecan orchard, the venerable oak alley introduces you to Madison Oaks at Poullain Heights. Built by an aristocratic French family, this c1905 Neoclassical Greek Revival has been loved and thoughtfully preserved. Before you enter you are struck by the stature of the towering white columns, and a setting of centuries old oak trees amongst the historic pecan grove. Stepping inside, the great hall, the original pine floor, the dual chandeliers and the grand staircase are inviting you. Open the original double paneled glass pockets doors on the right to enter a moody, modern study. On the left, identical doors open to the light and airy parlor basked in sunlight by day and illuminated by the crystal chandelier at night. From here, another set of pocket doors open to the banquet size formal dining room that envelops you with the most prized architectural features. The "piazza" as it was well-known in the day but today we'd call it a veranda. It is from here that you are immersed in the lush garden highlighted by the vast formal lawn outlined by an oval pathway reminiscent of the Victorian Era. Continuing to the "family" area of the house comes the gourmet kitchen fully equipped with top-of-the-line stainless-steel appliances, locally crafted custom cabinetry surrounding the island with a new quartzite countertop. The large breakfast area opens to the gardens and to the pool, a perfect setting for informal dinners. When the day is over, the living room is a great spot for relaxing. It was recently renovated to include coffered ceilings, large TV set and fireplace. Two covered porches complete this setting allowing one to enjoy the outdoors all year long. Making your way upstairs you’ll notice the large original Art Nouveau stained glass window. The Master Suite is a private retreat upgraded by re-engineering the space to accommodate a large bedroom overlooking the gardens. An ample walk-in closet and a custom bathroom (bathroom in progress with time to choose your finishes) complete this setting. A large fully equipped guest suite overlooking the gardens, a bedroom and a charming original bathroom complete this level. Your outdoor life at Poullain Heights will gravitate around the gardens and the resort-like pool. The pool deck is ready for a party and for future installation of an outdoor kitchen. Don't miss the opportunity to make this dream home your reality. Contact us today to schedule a private viewing!
