LOVERS OF ANTIQUE HOUSES REJOICE! The Augustus Peck House c.1824. Beautiful, wide board chestnut floors, multiple fireplaces, exposed beams, a first floor primary bedroom and bath, an updated country kitchen/family room, a charming living room, an office and a large (21 x15) four season sunroom make for easy first floor living. Upstairs are two bedrooms which share a full bath, a small sitting area and ample storage. An almost 800 s.f. garage with three bays and a loft offer endless possibilities (a spacious studio?) as does the full acre lot which has numerous special trees: apple, crabapple, magnolia and an enormous cherry plum plus a large space ready for a summer garden and still have ample room for a swimming pool. This Colonial farmhouse was the home of Augustus Peck (1802-1874) and his wife, Abigail. Augustus was an apprentice to Abigails father who was a tanner by trade. As a wedding gift, her father had his two-room tannery shop moved onto nearby land he owned. It became the kitchen of this house that Augustus expanded over time making it the cozy and attractive home which still delights two hundred years later. An original stone wall and a white picket fence are pleasing to the eye and provide separation from the road. Close to downtown Madison and its beaches, nationally known bookstore, 2 screen movie theater, library and excellent restaurants. Additional 315 sf heated space (sunroom) not reflected in the town sf.
