You will say "Welcome Friends and Family to 659 Summer Hill Road."

This Historic home was built in 1779 on the pastural Summer Hill Road. In the sore town of Madison, CT

Sited forward on the lot this home presents a classic Cape Cod facade to the street. The surprise is what is revealed beyond the tidy front face.

Welcome to the Curtis Dudley House built in 1779.

The side view shows the care that has gone into the landscaping - Flowering shrubs give privacy and are of a scale that allows for sunshine and air flow on every side of the house.

Typical of New England Historic Homes, the formality of the front door has been supplanted by the ease and grace of the side entry. The Belgian Block walkway is especially inviting.

Every room, nook and cranny of this house is welcoming. The formal Living Room is so pretty and not at all stuffy!

View from the Living Room through the Keeping Room (Dining Room) to the Kitchen.

The Family Room, located on the south side of the house is a great place to snuggle up with a good book or watch the flames in the fireplace, or watch TV.

This spacious room is very inviting.

The main stairway separated the Dining Room from the office. With built-in bookshelves and a "just right" size for a desk. this is where the business of the house happens (Or finally finishing that novel!)

The dining Room has DRAMA! The large fireplace, cathedral ceiling, exposed beams, the second story balcony, plus the bank of glassed doors to the deck all come together to make a superior room!

Around the corner from the Dining Room and, conveniently by the side door, is the beautifully remodeled Kitchen.

The large granite topped center island has loads of works space, the cook top plus tremendous storage below. The breakfast bar is a great place for those who must "entertain the cook!"

To the south the double atrium doors open to the deck. The sink looks out to the driveway (important to be able to see who is coming!) The work surfaces are many. The pantry is just around the corner off the Mud Room.

The Mud room has it all! Easy access to the attached garage, convenient laundry closet, Mechanicals, and the pantry. And private stairs to the Primary Bedroom.

Floor Plans 1st Floor

This suite is luxuriously spacious and has access to a private balcony.

Cathedral Ceiling, Exposed Beams and windows on three sides make this room special. there is a large walk-in closet just around the corner.

The private balcony off the Primary Bedroom is big enough to lounging furniture and a cafe table and chairs - just for you!

The Primary Bathroom is compartmented. The large soaking tub is in its own space, The Custom tiles shower with Glass block wall is in the adjacent space.

Just a place to hang out with a good book (or an over flow sleeping space spot.)

The upper hall/balcony is accessable from the main stair and the Primary Bedroom Suite.

A lovely room with extra storage in the eaves.

The Hall bath is updated and fresh.

This bedroom has both eave storage and a very large walk-in closet.

Floor Plans 2nd Floor

The attached garage and the side entry. The other garage bays are in the barn.

There are beautiful plantings and sweeping yards on this property.

The ground level deck is the perfect transition between house nad yard. Plus, it is large and has some built-in benches.

The gunite pool will be opened soon. There are stairs into the shallow end and a stone patio surround.

The plantings that surround the pool do double duty: very private for summer swims and discretely separated from the house. No need to look at a closed pool October through May!

From the deck area looking toward the Barn and sweeping lawns.

For more options the two car garage was added to the huge post and beam barn. there is room for 6 car and still have space for workshop, storage or theatrical productions ("We have a barn - let's put on a play!" - Micky Rooney)

The poured concrete pad is great for pick-up basketball games, riding scooters or making chalk art!

Plenty of room for Frisbie, touch football or flashlight tag (along with the fireflies.)

The Playhouse is very special. Tucked away in the back yard - this is a place where imagination blossoms.

This playhouse is a retreat for the young or the young at heart. There is electricity in the building.

This property has dozens of mature flowering shrubs and trees, established perennial gardens and mature shade trees. the back yard is fully fenced. This is a place to call home.
