New Cottage, Craftsman-style Community Fits with Madison’s Historic Flavor

The attraction of hometown living within walking distance of shopping, dining and entertainment is a big draw for today’s home buyers. Ground has just been broken on Town Walk in downtown Madison, the epitome of historic charm with all the modern conveniences. “The beauty and history of downtown Madison is captured in this quaint cottage community,” said Ann Bell, real estate agent with Coldwell Banker American Land Mart, exclusive marketers of the 33-home Town Walk community. “Long known for its historic homes, large graceful trees and sense of place, Madison attracts home owners with an eye for detail and a passion for Southern charm.”

Town Walk is adjacent to the new Town Park passive park developed by the City of Madison. It’s part of Madison’s identity campaign for revitalization of downtown. A walking path connects the two. “Builder Steve Autrey has created a wonderful traditional neighborhood of homes with front porches that encourage friendliness,” Bell said. “It’s a blend of ranch and two-story homes just perfect for empty nesters, active adults and young professionals.” Priced starting in the high $100,000s, the two- and three-bedroom homes range from 1,200 sq. ft. to 2,100 sq. ft. Standard features include open floor plans, hardwood floors, plus upscale kitchens with granite countertops, stainless appliances and stained cabinets.

Madison, known for its large number of ante-bellum homes, was recently named “No. 1 Small Town in America” by Travel Holiday Magazine. It is currently undergoing a $4 million revitalization that focuses on Town Park, with a massive cast-iron fountain and bandstand. With the redevelopment, Madison now has art galleries, antique shops, boutiques and a variety of restaurants. With easy access to Lake Oconee, Athens and Atlanta, Town Walk is conveniently located off I-20 east at the exit for Ga. 441. Turn left/north and then take a left onto Jefferson Street. Turn right on 5th Street and the community is on the right. Town Walk is being marketing by Coldwell Banker American Land Mart with Ann Bell (770-483-8925) and Scarlet Torok (404-456-8333) as listing agents.
