Built in 1899 and filled with character that simply cannot be recreated, 401 E Madison Avenue is a remarkable piece of Iola history. This stately two-story brick home offers approximately 2,331 square feet with 4 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms, all surrounded by the craftsmanship and architectural detail of another era. From the moment you arrive, the expansive covered front porch, decorative gable trim and classic red brick exterior make an unforgettable first impression. Inside, beautiful original woodwork, hardwood floors, intricate trim, tall windows, vintage lighting and distinctive architectural details carry throughout the home. The formal dining room is especially striking with its bay windows and rich woodwork, while multiple living spaces provide plenty of room to gather, entertain or simply enjoy the character of the home. The kitchen offers abundant cabinetry along with stainless steel appliances, and the generously sized bedrooms continue the home’s historic charm. Outside, the approximately .30-acre corner lot provides mature trees, established landscaping, a fountain, detached garage and plenty of usable yard space. This is not a cookie-cutter house. It is a home with more than a century of history, craftsmanship and personality, ready for its next chapter.
