About This Home
A Rare Historic Madison Homestead - Timeless Character, Thoughtful Updates & Move-In Ready! Discover the history and distinctive character of this circa-1752 Madison homestead, once home to Helen Foster Snow, the pioneering American journalist, author, and humanitarian known for her groundbreaking reporting from China in the 1930s. Lovingly renovated and thoughtfully updated by the owner of East Guilford Construction, a builder specializing in historic homes, this property was undertaken as a personal project for his own family, reflecting his appreciation for historic architecture, traditional craftsmanship, and the comforts of modern living. The result is a unique historic property that blends old-world charm with thoughtful updates, offering the next owner the opportunity to simply move in and enjoy. The main residence offers 4 bedrooms and 4 full baths, with distinctive architectural details and individual character throughout. A separate one-bedroom guest house provides additional living flexibility, while two barns offer versatile space for hobbies, workshops, storage, or creative pursuits. A picturesque pond adds to the property's special charm. The property at 148 Mungertown Road, together with the adjacent 1.52-acre parcel at 140 Mungertown Road, is being sold together, bringing the combined acreage to approximately 3 acres. The additional land offers further possibilities, subject to applicable zoning and town approvals.
