House 3 art 3

On June 23, 2019, The Madison Historical Society's 6th Annual Tour of Remarkable Homes of 5 unique Madison Properties was held from 11 to 4. See flic.kr/s/aHsmDYR4zd for more scenes from this event.
Built on a corner lot, the charming early-19th-century yellow colonial with black shutters is known as the Zenas Wilcox House. Visitors enter the home through a mudroom and eat-in kitchen that were added in the mid-1980s.
The current owner, wanting the new spaces to flow with the antique character of the house, used beams from an Ohio barn to support the addition’s vaulted ceiling. She used reclaimed chestnut boards from a Connecticut farmhouse to create its floor. The cover of a book of family recipes, published by the owner’s grandmother, inspired a brick surround that houses a stove that divides the space. The custom kitchen was built by local cabinet maker Thomas Korn. Much forethought and attention to detail was given to the design and use of the space. The detail of his artistry is apparent everywhere, as seen in the small cabinet above the poured-concrete counters; a stowaway space for small appliances, it features a lovely reticulated pull-down shelf lined with tin.
The dining room was completely reimagined by the owner to reflect the home’s historic past. Again, Korn worked his magic. He installed a Federal-style corner cabinet that houses a collection of antique porcelain, and he made raised-panel floating millwork, painted in a traditional grey/blue. The property is situated across from a horse pond where locals enjoying frogging in the warmer months and ice skating in the winter. Located on just over an acre of land, the home also features a heated pool, a sunroom, and a porch that utilizes stone repurposed from an earlier foundation.
