    What's special

    Finished hardwood floorsQuiet streetLots of windowsModern kitchen
    Charming duplex on a very quiet street in a fantastic neighborhood between James Madison Park and Giddings Park. The upper flat is 1,250 sq.ft. and has Lake Mendota and Capitol views from the large living room. Only half a block from a bus stop. 0.75 miles from the capital. Pizza shop, coffee, liquor store, ice cream, sandwiches, amazing breakfast, fine dining, basic groceries, 3 parks, all within 2 blocks! There are two large bedrooms and a small third bedroom facing the lake that serves as a great office or a guest bedroom (it has a closet). This unit is in excellent condition and has finished hardwood floors, modern kitchen and bathroom, lots of windows, etc. The back yard is fully fenced in and there is room for a small garden, as well as a concrete patio. Energy efficiency is better than average with a new, high efficiency gas furnace and water heater, water softener, dual flush toilet, storm windows, free front load washer/dryer in basement, and new insulation between units. Building owner currently lives on the first floor and any issues are resolved promptly. Great neighbors have a bi-annual potluck plus a summer block party. A great mix of long term owner occupants, long and short term renters. Included with rent are water, sewer, and lawn care. Gas and Electric average about $120/month. There is some additional space in the basement for storage if needed. I prefer no pets but will consider one cat or dog for the right tenant. Thanks for your interest! Lease is typically 1 year. I am flexible if other terms are desired. Landlord pays for water and trash. Tenants pay gas, electric, and internet.
