About this House

What's unique:Finished hardwood floorsTwo large bedroomsQuiet streetLots of windowsModern kitchen
Charming duplex on a very quiet street in a fantastic neighborhood between James Madison Park and Giddings Park. The upper flat is 1,350 sq.ft. and has Lake Mendota and Capitol views from the large living room.

Only half a block from a bus stop. 0.75 miles from the capital. Pizza shop, coffee, liquor store, ice cream, sandwiches, amazing breakfast, fine dining, basic groceries, 3 parks, all within 2 blocks!

There are two large bedrooms plus a third bedroom facing the lake that serves as a great office or a guest bedroom. This unit is in excellent condition and has finished hardwood floors, modern kitchen and bathroom, lots of windows, etc. The back yard is fully fenced in and there is room for a small garden, as well as a concrete patio.

Building owner currently lives on the first floor and any issues are resolved promptly. Great neighbors have a bi-annual potluck plus a summer block party. A great mix of long term owner occupants, long and short term renters.

Included with rent are water, sewer, and lawn care. Gas and Electric average about $140/month. There is additional space in the attic for storage if needed. I prefer no pets but will consider one cat or dog for the right tenant.

Thanks for your interest!

Lease to begin 4/15 or 5/1.
Lease is typically 1 year. I am flexible if other terms are desired.
Landlord pays for water and trash. Tenants pay gas, electric, and internet.
