The program book provides directions to the homes as well as instructions on where to park at each individual residence. In some instances, parking attendants will be present at the house to assist with traffic and to make parking suggestions. You must provide your own transportation to each residence. The houses are as much as a few miles apart, so we recommend driving.
It was built on one of the remaining few lots available. The peaceful setting of this home on a knoll is accentuated by the wooded, winding lane that accesses the property. This layout is quite different from the houses in the central part of town.

It has a gabled roof with overhanging eaves and dentils in the front. Most of the floors are original to the home as well as woodwork and door and window frames. The three fireplaces in the home feature their original summer inserts. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Homes. This federal style duplex was built in the 1860's. The current homeowners have done extensive renovations to update it for modern living.
They know majority of the people looking during a Parade of Homes are not in the market which is great. I also like that it’s right off the garage so it’s easy access when bringing in the groceries. Actually the whole area is really convenient. I hate when kitchen placement is an afterthought.

The upper and lower side galleries were completely rebuilt during renovation, but the original variegated slate roof is still in use after 150 years. The two-story home, bordering Hentz Lane on the north, was one room wide and three rooms deep. The original carriage house, on the alley to the rear of the home, is still standing but was sold years ago by previous owners. This holiday tour features six beautiful private homes in Madison and Hanover.
Almost as if this room was designed to be more of a theater room or movie room. A lot of the finishes in this bathroom are darker than my preference. Other distinctions are pocket doors and heart-of-pine floors. All proceeds from the biennial tour go to local scholarships and other philanthropic projects. “We hope all of our downtown merchants will join in the Christmas spirit and hold open house Dec. 1,” Haas added.
What is a scattered-site Parade of Homes?
This feature is in one of the other guest bathrooms, I don’t remember which one. One of the other guest bathrooms upstairs. I love this vanity style and the counters and sink. I feel like this is a current design trend because I’ve seen similar sinks in several of the homes this year. I’m excited to share the first house from this year’s Parade of Homes Series.

The home is decorated in a transitional style combining the elements of old and new – pieces from both of their families and pieces collected through their 50-year marriage.

It was built as a showpiece of modern style for its age. In the den, floor and ceiling chestnut paneling and the marble fireplace set off a view of the river. Leaded windows, original cabinetry and period chandeliers all add to the charm of this thoroughly modern yet drenched-in-character home. On July 15, 1876, The Madison Courier newspaper reported, “Mrs. Clark’s new house on Poplar Lane is now completed and is quite an ornament to the locality. It is a two-story brick with modern style front adorned with a beautiful cornice and covered with variegated slate .
If you live in my area and want to know the builder’s information shoot me an email and I’m happy to provide that for you. Just a few steps away from the kitchen is a mudroom space and a full walk-in pantry. As a realtor in another house I looked at said, it’s the Sam’s Club or Costco pantry.
