First Condo Sold At Historic "Black House" Site in Madison

MADISON, CT - One of three luxury condo units in the historic Dowd House, built in 1813 and located in the heart of downtown Madison, restored by William Plunkett, has been sold for $619,000.

When Plunkett bought the house back in 2014, speculation early on was that it might be turned into a restaurant, as Plunkett is the owner of the popular restaurant Moxie on nearby Wall Street.

Instead he marketed as a three-unit, luxury condo.

A sign outside the ‘Black House’ says a sale is pending on one of the three units - the one that is 1,140 square feet.

The unit's $619,000 selling price is $70,000 less than what the unit was first listed at back in September of 2017. It's price was dropped to $669,000 in April of 2018 and then to its current price of $619,000 in September of last year.

The other units current listing prices are $719,000 for the second unit and $769,000 for the third - and largest - unit.

The other units are still listed for sale.
