Description

Right on the Isthmus less than a mile from the Capitol, this 3-bed home packs in more than you’d expect. Living space that lives much larger than it looks from the street, engineered hardwood floors, and large windows letting in tons of light. The updated kitchen is a showpiece with quartz counters, a farmhouse sink, ornate backsplash, SS appliances, and a statement hood vent. Tucked away is a cozy reading room with a wood stove — perfect for one or two. The bathroom was fully remodeled in 2023, and main level laundry plus a mudroom lead out to a quaint screened porch. Out front, the garden is straight out of a magazine and puts color right on the street. Shops, cafes, and downtown life are literally at your doorstep, and the mixed-use zoning adds future flexibility.

903 E Johnson St, Madison, WI 53703 is a 3 bedroom, 1 bathroom, 1,371 sqft single-family home in Tenney-Lapham, built in 1899. It last sold for the $445,000 asking price on Nov 25, 2025. It is currently off market. The Trulia Estimate is $457,500, with a rent estimate of $1,959/month.
