Property Description
Rare opportunity to own in one of Madison's most coveted shoreline locations. Just steps from East Wharf Beach and a short stroll to downtown Madison's shops, acclaimed restaurants, and vibrant village center, this 3-bedroom, 2-full-bath residence captures the essence of Connecticut coastal living. Privately sited on a beautifully maintained lot with an in-ground pool, the property offers a rare combination of beachside convenience and backyard seclusion. The outdoor spaces invite relaxation and entertaining, while a detached 2-car garage provides additional flexibility for storage and more. Inside, the home is filled with warmth and character. The main level features a lovely sun/sitting room, a dining room designed for gathering, and a cozy living room anchored by a fireplace. The bespoke kitchen showcases charming built-in pine features that reflect the home's timeless appeal. A tucked-away doorway off the living room reveals a finished lower level currently enjoyed as a den and media room-an unexpected and inviting extension of the living space. Can be enjoyed as a year-round residence, seasonal escape, or thoughtfully reimagined coastal retreat with exceptional location, timeless character, and tremendous potential! Wake to the scent of salt air, spend your days at the beach, stroll into town for dinner, and return to the privacy of your own backyard oasis. A truly special offering in one of Madison's most sought-after coastal settings!
