Homes on Tour

Godfrey-Hunt House
This gracious home with a large welcoming porch has been in the same family since it was built on the site of an earlier structure, and the family has owned and operated Godfrey’s Feed in its location downtown by the railroad since 1879. Not only is the house itself historically important, the main rooms are still furnished with old family pieces and period-appropriate antiques.

Lanier-Dorr House
Pine and the surrounding streets developed mainly from the 1890s through the time of World War I, and the area is sprinkled with Georgian and folk Victorian homes from that era. The Lanier-Dorr House is among the most interesting in the neighborhood with its shake shingled gables, profusion of “gingerbread,” and unique porch that wraps two sides of the front. The interior has been thoroughly updated for modern living while at the same time maintaining its historical ambiance.

The Brick Cottage
In the early 19th C. in what was then near the western edge of developed Georgia, building a small home of brick was unusual enough that this structure early on acquired its name. Although enlarged in 1890, the cottage remained small and cozy. Today it is lovingly furnished, decorated, and updated for in-town living just of Madison’s charming square.

Manos House
This Queen Anne-inspired Victorian home stood originally in downtown Social Circle, but it was moved to Madison in 1998 to make way for a new Ace home center. It is now the only actual historic house on Candler Lane, an in-town street of historically-inspired homes. The present owners have slightly reconfigured the porch, added the garage-workshop, and renovated the interior. Upstairs rooms carved out of the attic give the house more living space than would appear from the street. A cased opening with a stained glass transom helps maintain the historic air of the now-open floor plan. The kitchen was recently given a complete makeover to improve both functionality and appearance.

Dennard House
This classically-styled house was built in 2000 amongst historic homes. The elegant design features an open floor plan with a large dining room that can accommodate dinners for the extended family. There is a quaint guesthouse that overlooks a small pond.

Wickland House - "Rosebud"
Well-tended gardens surround this folk Victorian reproduction erected in 2007. Even though the house is EarthCraft certified for environmental friendliness, the interior exudes a late 19C-style elegance with ten-foot ceilings, heart pine floors, and a grand piano. Art by the talented homeowner graces the walls.

Massey Bungalow
Candler Lane is a small 18-home cul-de-sac of historically inspired houses near downtown including one 1890 structure moved to the site. The Massey Bungalow is a Craftsman-style house with an open floor plan. The homeowners have personalized it with art and collections as diverse as Jadeite, duck decoys, and cowboy memorabilia. One bathroom features murals by celebrated Madison folk artist Eugene Swain.

Hunt Loft
In 2009 the City of Madison dedicated Town Park to celebrate the town’s 200th anniversary. Construction of the park removed non-historic blighted structures to stimulate re-development of the west side of town. The Hunt Loft is in the Jefferson Square Parkside complex, which was part of that re-development. The residence reflects the owner’s loved of art, music, and travel. From the terrace Ms. Hunt and her friends can enjoy the outdoors and take in music from the several annual festivals in the park below.
