This completely renovated and updated home is nestled in one of Madison’s loveliest neighborhoods, minutes from the center of town and East Wharf beach. The first floor’s open design flows smartly from the large living room — stretching from the front to the back of the house and featuring high, beamed ceilings and a wood-burning fireplace — into both the dining room and kitchen, which includes high-end appliances (Sub-Zero fridge, double ovens, wine cooler), granite countertops and center island, and loads of cabinet space. The adjacent family room is bathed in light all day long thanks to multiple windows. From the living room, French doors open onto a new deck custom-built with no-maintenance composite materials. The master bedroom is conveniently located on the first floor, in a private wing accessed by a sliding barn door. Highlights include a large walk-in closet and master bath with two pedestal sinks and a walk-in shower. Two spacious upstairs bedrooms, one with a sunny sitting area, share a full bath. A separate building houses a 17x17 office/studio with a vaulted ceiling, skylights, heat/AC, and two attached utility sheds. This home — featuring beautiful, dark-stained hardwood floors throughout and propane heat/AC — has been freshly painted indoors and out. The professionally landscaped yard is adorned with a bluestone walkway and wood fencing. Recent upgrades include new electrical outlets and lighting fixtures, custom window treatments, and a home security system.
