While Alexander Hamilton may be darling of today’s pop culture scene, another Founding Father is currently the center of attention in the luxury housing market

While Alexander Hamilton may be darling of today’s pop culture scene, another Founding Father is currently the center of attention in the luxury housing market.

According to a Realtor.com report, the Philadelphia property that was home to James and Dolley Madison from 1794-1797 is now on the market for $3.2 million. The townhouse in the ritzy Society Hill section of the city is somewhat different from the days when the future fourth U.S. president was in residence: The fully modernized property offers four bedrooms, four bathrooms, an elevator, a sunken hot tub and a rooftop deck.

The house was last on the market in 2007, when it sold for $1.9 million. But unlike the Madison’s Virginia plantation Montepelier (where the couple moved after leaving Philadelphia), the newly listed does not carry historic landmark status.
