Welcome home to 522 W 5th Avenue! This well cared for 3 bedroom 2 bathroom home is ideal for those wanting a move in ready property. Located on a corner lot, within walking distance of downtown Madison, the pool park, the courthouse, the Prairie Art Center, elementary school, and several churches. The home provides beautiful views of the sunrise each morning while drinking your coffee and watching the news, and also the sunsets each evening as you wind down. As you enter the home, there is a foyer opening up to a spacious living room and you see the ornate staircase to the upper level. There is another seating area with large front windows providing that ever so cherished view. To the south of the living room is the main floor bedroom. The kitchen offers an open concept to an informal dining area. This heart of the home is where the smell of cookies baking, and small giggles could be exchanged. Or in the evenings perfect for the more serious conversations and advice sharing. The Kitchen is large enough for a center island if the next owner chooses. There is a full bathroom on the main floor and a back mud room area for hanging your coats and kicking off those shoes after a day's work. The upper level has a large open den area, ample for seating, reading, playing games. There are two good sized bedrooms and a 2nd full bathroom. The lower level offers more living space with a hobby room or family room, or office space. There is laundry, lots of storage and another room that may be a non-conforming 4th guest bedroom, sewing or exercise room. Much of the home's exterior was redone in the 1990's consisting of siding, and windows. The shingles were replaced within the past 2-3 years. There is a newer water heater, water softener and washer and dryer. The driveway is handy whether to drive into the 1 car detached garage, or to drive in and out due to its half moon double access. The driveway has been well maintained with asphalt paving. Outside the perimeter of the home has beautiful landscaping and flowers. Call for a showing! A must see to appreciate!
