It’s been awhile since I’ve done a 2008 Parade of Homes post and I still have many more homes to show you before the 2009 Parade of Homes begins! Time to get back to it. Starting with this transitional home built by Madison Homes. Located in the swanky Blackhawk Neighborhood of Madison, WI, this 2-story, 5 bedroom home features a 2-story great room with 2-sided gas fireplace, finished lower level with wet bar and theatre room. And my favorite part of the home–a 3-season enclosed cedar porch, complete with wood burning fireplace.
2-story great room, located in the front of the house just left of the entryway.
I thought this tiled bowl sink in the powder room was neat. I like how it’s suspended off the floor:
Beautiful kitchen backsplash:
And my favorite part of the house–although seeing these pictures make me long for summer even more than hearing our forecast for tomorrow is a high of -7°F. Yes, you read that right. A high of negative 7°F. And that, of course, is not even factoring in windchill. And if you don’t know what “windchill” is, consider yourself lucky. And never move.
But I digress… Back to this beautiful 3-season cedar porch, complete with wood burning fireplace. It was hard to get a picture that did it justice while hoards of other POH tourists were elbowing their way into this screened-in beauty, but I did my best!
A fireplace to heat you up, and a ceiling fan to cool you down. Throw in a wet bar and I could live here:
The outdoor sofa in this space was ENORMOUS! I had my friend Jill kick back and relax on it so you’d have an idea of how big it really is.
Fireplace, fan, comfy ginormous sofa, lemons for my tequila gimlets–come spring I may be making this sun porch my new home.

So pretty! And that could possibly be the largest sofa I have ever seen in my life! Love it!
I love the stainless hood in the kitchen. I have never successfully used a bowl sink – the water hits my hands, splashes up and out of the bowl, then splatters down onto the countertops and floors. It’s a disaster. Does anyone else have this issue? I need hand washing in fancy sink lessons.
OMG, that sofa makes your friend look teeny! Hilarious. But it looks so comfy! Beautiful house.
Wow! That porch is definitely luxurious.
What great peeks! And I’ve never seen a sofa that big in my life. No wonder it ended up on the porch, bet it wouldn’t fit through the door to go inside ;o)
Sigh! If I stuck that porch on the back of my little ranch, it might look just a bit out of place.
I love your parade of homes posts! Stay warm D!!!
Yep, I’d totally be living out there, too. Thanks for a glimpse into something I can only dream about!
P.S. The two-story great room is something else. Imagine the fabric required for those window treatments!
That sofa is ginormous! But I love it! And one of my favorite parts was the high ceiling in the great room.
I love the porch.. .and that fireplace. I want a fireplace so bad…. =)
Love your Parade of Homes posts.
That sofa on the back porch is amazing. I wish I had a porch like that so I could get a sofa like that!
Can I come visit your new sun porch?
I LOVE that couch!
I’m in LOVE with that sofa!!!
ooo I love the fancy bathroom sink!
i love that sofa!
