About This Home
A private garden retreat in the heart of Madison, this beautifully maintained Sunset Village ranch feels worlds away while keeping the city close at hand. The remarkable backyard, thoughtfully cultivated with native plantings, perennials, fruit trees, raised beds, greenhouse, and even a chicken coop, changes beautifully with the seasons. Karen, Helen & Rosie, the resident hens, can stay! Inside, hardwood floors, abundant natural light, a gas fireplace, and open kitchen, living, and dining spaces flow to a large deck overlooking the gardens. It’s an inviting setting for everything from quiet mornings to lively gatherings with friends. The exposed lower level adds a family room, office, full bath, and storage. Pre-inspected for peace of mind and an easy walk or bike ride to Hilldale, UW, hospitals, shops, restaurants, and more.
