What's special
A Rare Historic Madison Homestead - Timeless Character, Thoughtful Updates & Move-In Ready! Discover the history and distinctive character of this circa-1752 Madison homestead, once home to Helen Foster Snow, the pioneering American journalist, author, and humanitarian known for her groundbreaking reporting from China in the 1930s. Lovingly renovated and thoughtfully updated by the owner of East Guilford Construction, a builder specializing in historic homes, this property was undertaken as a personal project for his own family, reflecting his appreciation for historic architecture, traditional craftsmanship, and the comforts of modern living. The result is a unique historic property that blends old-world charm with thoughtful updates, offering the next owner the opportunity to simply move in and enjoy. The main residence offers 4 bedrooms and 4 full baths, with distinctive architectural details and individual character throughout. A separate one-bedroom guest house provides additional living flexibility, while two barns offer versatile space for hobbies, workshops, storage, or creative pursuits. A picturesque pond adds to the property's special charm. The 1.5 acre property at 148 Mungertown Road, together with the adjacent 1.52-acre parcel at 140 Mungertown Road, is being sold together, bringing the combined acreage to approximately 3 acres. The additional land offers further possibilities, subject to applicable zoning and town approvals. Enjoy an exceptional shoreline location just minutes from Hammonasset Beach State Park, The Surf Club, and Madison's charming town center, with local shops, restaurants, and community amenities nearby. With its rich history, thoughtful updates, distinctive outbuildings, additional acreage, and convenient access to the best of shoreline living, this is a rare opportunity to own a piece of Madison's past while enjoying the comforts of today. Property Information: Tax records identify the main residence as a 2-bedroom, 2-bath home; however, following a fully permitted addition, it now offers 4 bedrooms, 4 full baths, and approximately 2,419 square feet. Including the guest house, the property offers approximately 2,904 total square feet, with 5 bedrooms and 5 full baths. Please note that the barns do not have water or septic.
