Sunny Historic Home Near UW & Edgewood – Modern Comfort, Classic Charm

Description

This warm and character-filled 1927 home was designed by architect Ferdinand Kronenberg for the director of the Forest Products Laboratory—so naturally, it showcases a beautiful variety of woods throughout. With leaded glass windows, built-ins, and vintage charm, it balances history with modern comfort. The home sits on a sunny corner lot in a friendly, walkable neighborhood full of families and kids. You're just blocks from the University of Wisconsin, Edgewood College, and some of Madison’s best restaurants, cafes, wine shops, chocolate stores, and playgrounds. Inside, the layout includes 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, a home office on the first floor, and a finished basement area perfect for teens. The kitchen is open and updated, with modern appliances and great light. The screened porch has built-in heaters, making it a cozy three-season hangout. A fenced backyard and garage parking add to the convenience, and pets are welcome. Ideal for visiting faculty, artists, or medical professionals on short sabbatical or research stays. We love this house and hope to share it with someone who’ll appreciate its comfort, history, and location as much as we do.
