262 W Washington Street

This jewel box penthouse perched above The James Madison Inn is the pinnacle of fine-living in downtown Madison, Georgia’s Historic District. Enjoy panoramic views of Madison Town Park, Madison Markets mixed-use complex, and beautiful tree-lines from five private balconies. With countless architectural details including 12-ft ceilings, opulent wall coverings, solid-walnut hardwoods, arch-top walnut doors with Baldwin hardware, rich stone and glass tile finishes – no expense was spared in this luxury build, with interiors designed by Architectural Digest and One Kings Lane-acclaimed NY designer, Tricia Foley. From the south elevator, a long hall with tall, arched venetian plaster ceilings leads to a set of impressive brass-clad doors handcrafted by renowned local sculptor Tom Prachnow. Inside, a two-story foyer shapes impeccable first impressions and transports down the spacious center hall to the welcoming oversized living room where soft light pours into the home from tall, insulated windows. An open chef's kitchen features a massive island with bar seating, Viking and KitchenAid appliances, Kohler fixtures, thoughtfully-designed custom cabinetry and bookshelves, a walk-in pantry and much more. The grand dining room is perfect for entertaining and dinner parties, complimented by a sleek adjacent keeping room and wet bar with under-counter ice-maker, whole-home stereo control cabinet, and accent lighting. The keeping room, centered between the bar, kitchen, and dining rooms, opens onto a private balcony overlooking Town Park. A mezzanine loft, accessed by a Waupaca private interior elevator in the foyer, offers additional study, gym and recreation space with juliet balcony and passage to one of the only rooftop patios in the city. The mezzanine loft is adorned with grasscloth wallpaper, walnut and carpet flooring, and features a set of interior french doors that open into the grand two-story foyer. Steps lead up to the exclusive rooftop patio, floored with Trex decking and surrounded by natural stone-clad walls on two sides, sconce lighting, built-in planters with irrigation, custom-cushioned seating and a bar with water taps. The sleeping quarters below are secluded on the penthouse’s Eastern wing, allowing separation from entertainment spaces. The large primary bedroom suite features a sitting area with built-ins and dual lavish bathrooms, each with custom walk-in closets with skylights, water closets, rain showers, and custom vanities. One of the master bathrooms, adorned with beautiful pecky cyprus, features its own steam shower and sauna rooms. The two guest bedrooms are located further down the east hall and feature their own spacious closets, tastefully designed baths (one with a shower-tub combo) and attached private balconies. The laundry room with utility sink and storage, as well as supply and linen closets, are located in the guest hallway for housekeeper convenience. The private balcony off of the rear bedroom features a "potting" room for garden enthusiasts, with water hookups and power for heaters to keep tropical plants safe in winter. Beyond the walls of the Penthouse, enjoy the unparalleled service, amenities and convenience of the James Madison Inn’s guest reception, breakfast lounge and reservable boardroom in addition to complimentary membership at Madison’s Uptown Athletic Club. The unit also includes a private wine cellar with hand-crafted iron gate as well as an oversized storage room, the only one of its kind in the building. This Penthouse is served by two Otis elevators, one with private 3rd floor lockout on the Lobby side, and the other on the parking garage side of the building. Two highly-coveted garage parking spaces are included in the sale, and the building is kept secure by wifi-enabled keypad entry doors, security cameras, as well as the on-site staff of the James Madison Inn. This level of luxury and comfort in the walkable downtown of "The Best Small Town In America" simply cannot be beat!
