766 East Avenue, Madison

Welcome to Madison Oaks at Poullain Heights—a rare blend of Southern elegance and French heritage, just a short stroll from downtown Madison, GA. Built c.1905 by the Poullain family—descendants of Antoine Poullain, who came to America with Lafayette’s medical team—this Neoclassical Greek Revival estate was designed by Atlanta architects Denny & Wachendorff. It stands today as a beautifully preserved piece of Madison’s storied past. From the moment you arrive beneath the century-old oak allée, the estate’s timeless charm is undeniable. Towering white columns frame the front façade, set amid one of Madison’s last historic pecan groves. Inside, original pine floors glow beneath crystal chandeliers, guiding you through a home where history meets modern comfort. The grand hall opens to a moody study on one side and a sunlit parlor on the other. Elegant glass pocket doors lead to a formal dining room—once the site of French-only dinners, held weekly well into the 1950s to honor the family’s roots. Beyond lies the oval “piazza,” overlooking a Victorian garden and 10-foot fountain. At the heart of the home, a gourmet kitchen boasts stainless appliances, custom cabinetry, and a quartzite island, while a cozy living room offers a fireplace, coffered ceilings, and access to two covered porches. Upstairs, a stained-glass Art Nouveau window leads to the luxurious primary suite, where sunrise views stretch across the garden and oak allée. Two additional bedrooms and a vintage- style bath complete the second level. Outdoors, enjoy garden paths, a resort-style pool, and room to expand. Madison Oaks is more than a home—it’s a living legacy in one of Georgia’s most beloved historic towns.
