Our state’s most iconic house may well be the antique Colonial. Over the years, many of the surviving examples have been enlarged and updated, retaining their Colonial-era styling but taking on more commodious spaces and niceties such as master suites and family rooms. That describes a listing in Madison, a circa-1794 home sited directly on Long Island Sound and expanded to 4,000 square feet with water views from nearly all of its 11 rooms. Its antique styling is seen in the preserved wide-board floors, reclaimed timber beams and stone hearths. Modern amenities include the kitchen, with its Aga cooker and Sub-Zero refrigerator, wine cellar and two screened-in porches. Ruthanna Terreri and Catharina Lynch of Coldwell Banker list the property for $3,595,000.
