    What's special

    This is a very nice, CLEAN, quiet and spacious 2nd floor apartment in a classic, two-flat house in the popular Atwood 'hood. It's a one-bedroom but is larger than many 2-bedrooms in this area--very open feeling with lots of windows all around. In fact, with its extra room, it is more like a 1.5 bedroom! (Extra Room: Yoga nook? Study? Storage? Anyway, lots of extra space.) Fully furnished. Furnishings are basic but comfortable: A full-sized bed (a firm & comfy natural latex memory foam mattress--a Saatva ), dresser, living room sofa & two stuffed chairs, solid wood dining room table & chairs, in-unit washing machine (New, top rated LG, EnergyStar) and, of course, stove & fridge (EnergyStar). Kitchenware, tableware, linens, bedsheets and towels provided. Really, all you'll need is your suitcase! This would be perfect for someone here on a temporary assignment, short term research gig/sabbatical/locum tenens/travel nurse, etc. Longer term ok, too. -Though the house is old, it has been very well-maintained with many upgrades. Compared to other rentals of the same age in this area, it is easily in the 95th percentile. -Water softening system included (i.e, less soap consumption). -Beautiful wood floors throughout. -Lots of closet space. -Gardening opportunities in the backyard. -Not corporate-managed: Responsible & responsive owners, a married couple, live in unit below--we are quiet and respectful of our upstairs neighbors. Owner-occupied means fast response times for any issues. -Very nice, respectful and QUIET neighbors--A healthy mix of professionals, retirees, families with kids, grad students, tradespeople, artists, service workers, techies, of all stripes. Basically everyone who makes Madison the cool place it is! Heat, Electric, Water AND Wifi included (Typical apartment utilities including wifi run almost $200 in Madison) +Green bonus: For those who care about sustainability, the house is very energy efficient, yet very comfortable. It is so well-insulated that there are no drafts. All high-quality, EPA EnergyStar and WaterSense appliances and heating system. The Atwood Neighborhood is beloved for its lively, walkable business district: -Walkscore = 71! Bike Score = 100 In other words, most errands can be done walking or biking. -Walk to: Barrymore Theater, Cafe Brittoli, Alchemy Pub/Restaurant, One Barrel Brewing, Tex Tubbs (Austin Style Taqueria), Alchemy Brewpub, Nextdoor Brewpub & Restaurant, Mint Mark Restaurant, Barriques coffee & wine shop, etc. -Easy 15 minute bike to the Square, 25 min to UW, mostly on bike path! --1/2 block to the Isthmus Bike Path! -Bus: 1 block to the #3, 7, 10 & 38 (express) bus lines, just 25 minutes to campus. Rent schedule: $1550 - for a minimum 3 mo lease, single occupancy 2nd tenant (max 2): +$50 Less than 3 mos: +$100/mo Prices valid for leases starting 01/01/2023 (or close). No SmokERS/VapERS (of anything, anywhere), no pets (please don't ask). A note on laundry: There is a washer but we go eco by drying on the large rack provided or on the line outside. With the fast spin speed of this new LG front-load washer (EnergyStar; top-rated on TheWireCutter), things come out almost dry anyway; usually everything is dry within 3 hours. A note on the property: It is old. 1927 Olde. The neighborhood is old. Everything & everyone you might find in a mixed-use/mixed income neighborhood is here. It is not the suburbs. Sometimes we're under the flight path. Sometimes there are festivals with amplified music nearby. In sum, this would be the perfect place for someone who enjoys a modest, old, quirky flat in a a modest, old, quirky house in a modest, old, quirky neighborhood. Please, SmokERs/BurnERs of anything are not eligible. All utilities, wifi INCLUDED! (all within reason & legalities, of course!). Snow/ice clearing duties of sidewalk & steps. Further lease details available upon request.
