Property Description

120 years of Southern and French classic heritages... yet a vibrant, modern way of life. Walking distance from downtown Madison, passing the pecan orchard, the venerable oak alley introduces you to Madison Oaks at Poullain Heights. A Historic house needs "someone who loves it and loves its history". Poullain Heights has both. Built by an aristocratic French family that has resided in the area since the 1700's (Antoine Poullain followed the Marquis de Lafayette to America as a part of his medical team) this c1905 Neoclassical Greek Revival has been loved and thoughtfully preserved. Imagined more than a century ago by architects Denny and Wachendorff of Atlanta this house remains so coveted for its timeless beauty and sophistication yet offers openness, pictural views from every room, ease of living that are so modern attributes. Before you enter you are struck by the stature of the towering white columns, pastural setting of centuries old oak trees amongst one of the few remaining historic pecan groves in Madison. This homesite alone will take your breath away. Let's step inside. The great hall welcoming ambiance, the soft patina of the original pine floor, the dual chandeliers and the grand staircase are inviting you. Open the original double paneled glass pockets doors on the right to enter a moody, modern study. On the left identical doors open to the light and airy parlor basked in sunlight by day and illuminated by the crystal chandelier at night. The views of the restored historic formal gardens extend the enchantment and bring the outside gardens inside. From here, another multi paneled glass pockets doors open to the banquet size formal dining room that envelops you with the most prized architectural features. The "piazza" as it was fashionably monikered in the day but today we'd call it a veranda. This unique oval outdoor feature off the dining room is skirted with carved balustrade and columned newels it is from here that you are immersed in the peaceful lush formal garden highlighted by the vast formal lawn outlined by an oval pathway reminiscent of the Victorian Era, all centered around a ten foot. It was in this space that until the 1950's a Friday night formal dinner was served for the Poullain family where only the French language was spoken. Continuing to the "family" area of the house comes the gourmet kitchen fully equipped with top-of-the-line professional stainless-steel appliances, locally crafted custom cabinetry surrounding the center island with a new quartzite countertop. The large breakfast area opens to the gardens and to the pool, a perfect setting for informal dinners. When the day is over, the living room is a great spot for relaxing. It was recently renovated to included coffered ceilings, large TV set and fireplace. Two covered porches complete this setting allowing to enjoy the outdoors all year long. Making your way upstairs you notice the large original Art Nouveau stained glass feature sought after in the stately homes built by the wealthy of this period. The large landing opens to the suites and bedroom. The Master Suite is a true private retreat upgraded by re-engineering the space to accommodate a large bedroom, soaked by light, overlooking the gardens, the oak alley and the front porch columns. An ample walk-in closet and a custom high-end bathroom (bathroom in progress leaving you the time to choose your finishes) complete this setting. A large fully equipped guest suite overlooking the gardens and pool areas, a bedroom and a charming original bathroom complete this level. Chances that your outdoor life at Poullain Heights will gravitate around the gardens and the resort like pool. Multiple areas offer views or ambiances that will adjust with the mood of the moment. The pool deck is ready for party and for future installation of kitchen outdoor. Don't miss the opportunity to make this dream home your reality. Contact us today to schedule a private viewing!
