A rare offering in one of Madison's coveted shoreline neighborhoods, this custom-built Cape has been impeccably preserved since 1972, presenting a remarkable opportunity to own a home of enduring quality, character, and potential. Set on a private 1.02 acre lot with an Island address and easy access off Cambridge, the location offers exceptional privacy while remaining a quick walk to town, the Green or the beach. This charming 4 bed, 3 full bath home features 3,046 square feet of living space. Gracious formal rooms include an elegant living room with original hardwood floors (ready for refinishing as the shag rugs were just removed!) and sliders to a terrace. You'll also enjoy a bespoke dining room with a custom-painted island inspired wall, and a handsome wood-paneled family room with a fireplace and access to the 2 car garage. The large sunroom overlooks the beautiful grounds, while the charming, functional kitchen includes a casual eating area. A thoughtful floor plan offers two bedrooms and two full baths on the main level that could easily be combined to create an impressive 1st floor primary suite. Upstairs, a spacious landing leads to a large bath with double sinks, a generous guest bedroom, and an enormous fourth bedroom ideal as another bedroom suite, office, studio, recreation space or combination depending on your needs. Dated yet in exceptional condition, this rare gem offers location, privacy, scale, and endless possibilities-unlike anything else on the market! Shag rugs were recently removed from the living room and the staircase and second floor landing. Floors have paint and building debris from 1972. They have never been finished. Lovely quality and ready to be finished. Property is an estate. No disclosures. Limited information available.
