Description

Avail 02/07/26 - 04/30/26 only

Nice, fully-furnished, 2nd floor, one-bedroom apartment in a well-maintained 2-flat Victorian in the heart of the very walkable Tenney-Lapham Neighborhood. Beautifully restored woodwork. Gleaming parquet floors & newly installed slate in kitchen & bath. Brand new EnergyStar fridge and EPA WaterSense comfort-height toilet. New-ish gas stove. Classic bathroom fixtures including claw foot tub. Entire apartment: CLEAN.

Large, classic old historic original windows throughout just restored to modern function & efficiency provide a nice, light-filled, open feel. For added comfort & privacy, all windows outfitted with new window warmers.

Super insulated house. In winter, the modern, ultra-high-efficiency hydronic heating provides very even heat. In summer, a window AC does a nice job of cooling the whole apartment.

New, EnergyStar front-load washer on-site, included.

Nice furnishings: Full-sized bed + all linens (sheets, pillows, towels), chest-of-drawers, living room & kitchen furniture, microwave, kitchenware (cooking pans, utensils, plates, silverware, etc) and vacuum (new Miele) are provided. All you should need is your suitcase!

Easy for a car-free or car-lite stay. One block to coffee, art & lake. Easy walk to the Capitol! 15 min bus/bike to campus. On main buslines to campus, capitol, downtown and hospitals.

Responsible, conscientious, responsive owner/manager lives nearby (me).

Bike storage in locked garage.

This apartment is separately locked. There is another, separately locked unit downstairs, occupied by a retired professional.

A note on the house: It is old. Very old. Though we have done major upgrades and always maintained it, it is OLD. 1884. It is not perfect. Everything is serviceable & comfortably habitable. But this is most ideal for people who understand & are used to the quirks of old buildings. It is not the suburbs.

The Neighborhood: Tenney-Lapham, on Madison's isthmus, is one of the most beloved neighborhoods in the city. It is very walkable, very convivial. It is a mix of grad students, young professionals, families headed by professionals, trades people and service industry workers. Many of all of the above are involved in a myriad of creative pursuits Madison is known for. This neighborhood captures everything that makes Madison the easy-going & fun place that it is. It is close but not too close to the campus action.

Nearby locales: Johnson Public House is, in my opinion one of the top three coffee houses in town; it is across the street. A classic sole-proprietor bike shop is across the street. Burnie's Rock Shop is a rockhound's/jeweler's paradise, beloved far & wide, just down the block. Half a block away is a classic owner-operated corner shop. But wait, there's more! Too much more for me to list here....!

Tenney Park, 3 blocks away--Picnic Central in summer, Ice Skating Central in the winter.

James Madison Park is two blocks away. It is famous for it's bathing/frisbee beach during our two weeks of summer. The rest of the year it is a great place to watch waves freeze in mid-curl!

Last, and least, depending on the season, there might be a car parking space available for rent on site (just ask). There is usually an on-street parking spot within a block, but driving and parking around here is (thankfully) not suburban convenient.
