Cheerful Transitional-Contemporary

This spacious, transitional-contemporary home has been meticulously maintained and is situated on a large, private lot with mature trees --- located across from Chicory Meadow Park in the Highlands of Seminole neighborhood. This home has all the bells and whistles (Ring® security system, programmable Lutron® dimmers, surround sound), updates galore, tall ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows and a plethora of natural light.

The chef’s kitchen overlooks a private, wooded backyard and has been updated to include: high-end cabinetry, a large island with gorgeous granite countertops, a Wolf 5-burner gas cooktop, stainless appliances, walk-in pantry, coffee station, and a wine bar that leads into the formal dining room.

The eat-in kitchen’s cabinetry is perfect for a coffee bar or serving station. The new (fall of 2019) sliding patio door located in the eat-in kitchen emits a lot of natural light and leads to a recently installed (2019) Trex® zero-maintenance, composite deck (& railing) outside. This is an excellent spot to grill out and entertain guests or enjoy the peacefulness of the wooded backyard. The lush backyard also boasts: hostas, ferns, bleeding heart, hydrangeas (pink, purple, blue), mayflowers, blood root, and wild geraniums.

The family room has a 16’-tall, sloped ceiling, wood burning fireplace, floor-to-ceiling windows and a view of the private, tree-lined backyard. The built-in cabinetry is great for storage, with sliding doors that enable you to hide your TV and AV components.

The bright, front sitting room can be used as an office and is accentuated by beautiful built-in bookshelves and large windows. A perfect space to curl up, enjoy a cup of coffee and read a good book!

Talk about convenient -- you’re sure to love the laundry room on the main level off of the kitchen.

All four bedrooms upstairs are generous in size and the master 22’x17’ includes a magazine-worthy bathroom with double sinks, granite countertops, cabinetry with soft-close drawers and a built-in hamper, gorgeous heated travertine floors, Kohler® plumbing fixtures, a walk-in shower with marble travertine tile, rain and handheld showerheads, and three wall spray jets. The built-in window seat provides additional storage.

The spacious basement has a finished rec room with bar, full bath, workout room, and storage space. I personally love the built-in cabinetry in the rec room as well as, the floor to ceiling natural stone fireplace surround.

Location

Love to bike? Then this is the home for you! You are literally steps away from the Capital City Trail which takes you through downtown Madison to several hip Eastside neighborhoods. One block away is the Cannonball Path, which skirts the edge of the UW-Madison Arboretum and connects to the Military Ridge State Trail. Seminole Mountain Bike Area is a 1 mile ride away and provides beginner to intermediate trails.

Love getting outside? You are directly across the street from Chicory Meadows Park and a couple blocks from Knollwood Conservation Park and Rosecommons Park (tennis anyone?). Just a few minutes away is McKee Farms Park --- a personal favorite loaded with tons of fun features for everyone, including a splash pad. It also offers great events year-round --- such as an ice skating party, movies/concerts in the park & more. The south entrance to the Arboretum is just up Seminole Highway & the Quarry Ridge Recreation Park offers hiking & off-road mountain bike trails.

This home is only minutes away from Fitchburg’s beautiful Agora Center, which offers: Perennial Yoga, Surya Cafe, Ecco Salon (Aveda concept), Kneaded Relief Day Spa & Wellness --- plus many community events throughout the year. Fitchburg’s Agora Art Fair will celebrate 12 years in 2020 and Fitchburg’s Farmers Market operates every first Thursday of the month from 3:00-6:00 PM April-November.

Another Fitchburg gem is the 36,000 square foot Fitchburg Public Library, located of Lacy Rd. and Research Park Drive. Built in 2011, it offers a range of classes for children and adults.
