Welcome to this stunning mid-century modern, vintage home conveniently located in the heart of the city, on Madison’s west side in the desirable Crestwood Neighborhood. The home is seven minutes from the University and Veterans hospitals. This rare find is loaded with charm, built-ins, ample storage, impeccable details and privacy. This well kept, updated, versatile property shows true pride of ownership. It can be your dream home and investment opportunity. The property is located at the end of a heavily wooded, quiet, safe, cul-de-sac that abuts Owen Woods, a 97-acre, city-maintained nature preserve right out your back door where you can take a daily stroll, run, or cross country ski on multiple groomed trails, or simply enjoy nature and bird watch in any season.

Enter the home through the front brick paver patio flanked by a cedar privacy fence/Shinto arbor surrounded by nature and landscaping heading up to your front door. Walk into the open concept, spacious but cozy living/dining/kitchen/sunroom area with vaulted, trayed ceilings and hardwood floors that leads to a bright wall of southern-facing glass flooded with natural light. Step outside to a huge, private brick paver patio and screened porch for outdoor living and entertaining in a lush, wooded backyard with continually flowering perennial gardens. Enjoy the stone fire pit on those chilly evenings with family and friends under the stars.

The backyard is completely private, enclosed by a tall, highest quality, cedar privacy fence, mature landscaping and towering trees. Putter in the outdoor workshop set up with utilities for easy conversion to a sauna and hot tub. Additional side-yard brick paver partially-covered patio is just steps away from a fun-filled sledding hill, community playground and multiple trails through the woods and prairie. The property is nestled within the gold-standard, historic Crestwood Neighborhood of six cul-de-sac blocks known for its beautiful shared greenways, wooded common spaces, family activities and strong community cohesiveness.
