About the host

Hosted by Irene Keene

Host profile image

Originally from Queens, NY I spent several years living in Manhattan where I worked in public relations and, later, in magazine publishing (I was the Senior Editor of SOAP OPERA WEEKLY). Upon my marriage I moved to Westchester County, NY and then to Connecticut (been here in Madison for just shy of 25 years!). I'm a licensed Realtor and, about a dozen years ago, I embarked on yet another career as an actor; I'm a proud member of the Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists. This is all to say that I'm a real people person, and I'm delighted to host you while you relax in - and explore - the charming town of Madison.

Why they chose this property

There's something to be said about being close to town, beaches, shopping, dining, commuter links and surrounding areas and all they have to offer.

What makes this property unique

The cottage was taken down to the studs and completely renovated in 2021, so everything is newer. The property is 1 mile to Downtown Madison and (in the opposite direction) 1 mile to Hammonasset Beach State Park by car. Town beaches are nearby too. A stroll into Downtown is approximately 10-15 minutes.
