Description

Showings start 5/13. This charming two-flat investment property is the perfect way to start your portfolio or owner-occupy and live in the heart of Madison yourself. Backing up to the bike path and just blocks from the vibrant Atwood and Winnebago neighborhoods, you can't beat the location. Each unit is a 2-bed & 1 bath, with a beautiful combination of hardwood and durable cork flooring. Both units have a functional layout with an eat-in kitchen & large picture windows, plus their own unique features on each level, like the lower unit's built-in shelving, and the upper unit's versatile walk-in closet. The private porch and upper balcony face away from the street to relax away from the hustle and bustle. A shared two-car garage is great for extra storage or a vehicle. In less than 15 minutes, you'll reach the Capitol Square, home to the Dane County Farmers Market, near the new Public Market, many festivals, and dining favorites. Don't miss seeing this one in person!

    "This neighborhood is close to schools, library, food and recreation. We own one car but rarely drive. I bike to work and my spouse takes a bus less than half a block to the nearest stop. Bus service goes in all directions, all day, every day from this neighborhood. Great neighbors as well."
  • Elizabeth
    "It’s cute and it’s quite. I like that it is right on the bike path and that we have Demetral field in our back yard. It’s nice to hear the fun stuff that goes on there. "
