Idyllic home in Madison's best neighborhood: Dungeon Monroe!

Description

We’re living in San Francisco for work and looking for someone to rent our home for the month of July between renters. We planned to be back, but alas, covid numbers are high and we have an unvaxd toddler in tow.. We love our neighbors and our neighborhood, and are looking to find folks who want to take loving care of our place for the month! This setup would be great for visiting professors or families who’ve recently relocated to Madison and looking for an easeful transition! The home is furnished (thought the beautiful furniture pictured here is not ours, but from the previous owners--we have great taste though!). What we love about our home: Location: You can’t beat this location. It is a very short walk to the Wingra boat launch and park and right next to the capital bike trail. It is three blocks to Trader Joe’s and other great Monroe spots like Pizza Brutta, Everly, Sequoia, and Bloom. Neighbors know each others’ names, chat on front lawns while the kids play together, and have impromptu gatherings for things like Halloween or new years. Even with all of the neighborly activity and despite being close to Monroe, the street is quiet with little thru-traffic. It’s sunny: it gets beautiful sunlight through the large south-facing windows. The front yard has planters ready for gardening that get full-sun. It’s spacious: Along with 3 bedrooms, with ample closet space, upstairs, a spacious living room, a mudroom, and a newly renovated kitchen that opens to the dining room. The home also has a half-finished basement, a sunroom (my favorite room in the house!) a patio, and a deck. There are multiple areas that can be utilized as an office, such as a spare room in the unfinished basement or the sun room, which we’ve taken full advantage of. It’s great for cooking feasts: our home has a newly renovated kitchen with updated stainless steel appliances and a 5-burner gas convection oven. Large pantry, under-counter garbage and recycling, pot rack and butcher’s block center island make it a very functional space for lots of cooking. We also have a deep freezer in the basement that comes with the property. Great Outdoor spaces: Our home has large front and back yards with a play house / shed in the back and multiple planting beds throughout. The back yard is fenced, and the screened in porch comes with swing and provides ample shade on hot days. Updated Electrical and Plumbing: We have updated most switches to be dimmers and changed sockets to be child proof. We also hard-wired internet wifi access points to the upstairs and basement making internet very reliable and plug and play. We also installed a central 5-stage water purification system that runs straight up to the refrigerator for great water quality. It’s beautiful: This home was originally built in 1921. If you geek out on period details this home’s got lots. It has a working wood-burning fire place with a new chimney, detailed tile work in the mudroom and upstairs bathroom, built-in cabinets in the upstairs hallway, and lovely wooden doors. the bedrooms upstairs are lovingly painted—updated pictures to come. The Master is a lovely olive green, the nursery a springtime green with a birch tree decal, and the kids room has a crisp turquoise accent wall with gold star decals.
