About this House

Incredible opportunity to own a piece of Madison's rich downtown history. Only three owners since built in the late 1890's and first time available in nearly 50 years! Gorgeous woodwork in the entryway, hardwood floors throughout, high ceilings, and spaces to use as you see fit. Was a single-family, then a 2-flat, then back to single-family - unique layout affords the new owner to go either direction (2nd flr kitchen intact!). Ladder-up full attic and a not-scary basement w/outside access, updated mechanicals. Double parking pad at rear of lot leaves options for future garage or ADU. One block from Lake Mendota, easy walk to downtown, Breese Stevens for a concert, or Tenney Park to play. Consider this a blank canvas upon which to bring your vision to life! Welcome home.
