This extensively upgraded raised ranch rises above others, beginning with its tucked-away location on nearly three lush acres, just minutes from Madison's schools, beaches and downtown shopping and entertainment. Inside, there's nothing standard about this 3-bedroom, 3-bath home. Start with the newly carpeted living room, which leads into the dining room featuring cherry hardwood floors. Both rooms have access to the updated kitchen, including tile floors, soapstone counters, cherry cabinets, island with cooktop, sunny breakfast nook and laundry room (new washer and dryer). Sliders open onto a newly painted, two-tier deck overlooking the large backyard, Kloter Farms shed (insulated and electrified) and pond with dock. On the upper level, the primary bedroom's full bath has radiant-heat floors (even in the shower!). The other two bedrooms share a full bath. The lower level, with radiant-heat floors, comprises a spacious family room with wood fireplace and access to the backyard patio, full bath, separate room ideal for a home office or guest space, and two-car garage. Other value-added amenities: exterior painted in 2020; driveway sealed in 2019; roof replaced in 2016, state of the art HVAC and so much more... This lovely home is truly above and beyond expectations.
