Completed in 2009, the house at 4338 McConnell St stands in Madison’s Waucheeta area and carries a reported 6,514 square feet with five bedrooms and five baths. Its closing led five reported home sales across the Madison metro area that together came to $9.28 million.
Two of the week’s addresses are in Madison itself, the McConnell Street property and a 1929 Tudor in Nakoma, while the rest sit in Cambridge, Verona and Mount Horeb. Three of the properties sold with acreage attached: more than 35 acres in Cambridge, 17.92 acres in Mount Horeb and just over 1.4 acres in Verona. The Tudor is the oldest home on the list, and the newest, a custom farmhouse in Cambridge, was finished in 2024.
