Quiet charm of a classic Madison South bungalow, with all the conveniences of modern living. The home features beautiful period correct details, including: face-nailed hardwood floors, wood burning fireplace, crown moulding, and tile work in the updated primary bathroom. Lovely updated kitchen with granite counters and modern stainless appliances included. Highly functional and versatile layout with largely finished full basement, including spacious family room, bedroom complete with egress window, full modern bath, great ceiling height, and potential for a separate entrance. Kick back on the private patio, enjoy the mature landscape and an overall higher sense of care than your average home. High efficiency gas furnace, newer AC, and radon mitigation. Detached garage for parking, projects, storage, etc. It really is well sorted and surprisingly serene, yet with so much both walkable and bike-able!
