Description

Welcome to a truly special rental in one of Madison's most scenic neighborhoods, just right on Yahara Place Park and the shores of Lake Monona. This beautifully preserved 1930s single-story home brings together warmth, charm, and comfort in a way that's rare to find. Fully furnished and equipped, the home has two bedrooms, one remodeled bathroom, and original architectural details throughout, this space is perfect for up to three tenants seeking both character and convenience. From the moment you walk in, the original hardwood floors and historic craftsmanship make the home feel warm and welcoming. The living room is flooded with natural light thanks to a huge bay window that offers uninterrupted views of Lake Monona. It's the kind of view you'll never get tired of, sunrise coffee, midday reading, or quiet evenings all feel special here. The kitchen features classic white cabinetry and all the essential appliances and cooking tools, designed for both functionality and comfort. The two cozy bedrooms offer one queen and one full bed, each with a small closet, and the bathroom has been tastefully updated with a tub/shower combo and single vanity. Downstairs, the expansive basement features a washer and dryer and doubles as a great space for a workshop, home office, or occasional guests. Outside, you'll find a front porch, a shaded back porch, and a lovely garden space and front yard that tenants are encouraged to care for. Pets are welcome, and the refundable deposit depends on your furry friend's type. Parking is easy with a two-car garage with an electric door. The location is ideal, close to five major medical centers, including UW Health University Hospital, SSM Health St. Mary's Hospital, UnityPoint Health - Meriter Hospital, UW Health East Madison Hospital, Mendota Mental Health Institute, as well as bus stops, shopping (Jenifer Street Market), dining, and cultural hubs like State Street, West Towne Mall, and Monona Terrace. Just note: utilities are not included; they must be paid by tenants. And, during the winter, tenants are responsible for keeping the sidewalk clear of snow. This is more than just a rental, it's a cozy, lakeside retreat with personality and soul.
