The attic bedroom includes skylights, painted floorboards and dormer windows, and flows around an exposed-brick chimney. The converted sunroom’s flooring is paved, and its cathedral ceiling has open beams. The two main-floor bedrooms have hardwood floors and trim, and share a renovated bathroom between them with a combined tub and shower. A separate dining room lies beyond, with an open kitchen at the end containing white cabinets with wood-patterned laminate countertops and a double stainless-steel sink. To the left of the front door, as you enter, is a long living room with refinished oak floors, a tiled ceiling, wood trim, three exposures (including a street-facing picture window) and a wood-burning stove. The attached garage was converted into a three-season sunroom, and the electrical and mechanical systems were updated.
Indoors: The seller turned the attic into a bedroom and created a finished apartment in the basement with a bedroom, a full bathroom and a separate kitchen. The University of Wisconsin campus is an easy bike ride (about four miles) southwest. A few blocks south is Atwood Avenue, a fount of eating, drinking and entertainment venues, including the historic Barrymore Theater, which will be resuming live performances in July. This home is in the Atwood neighborhood on the near east side, an eclectic area with vintage architecture, community gardens, parks and Lake Monona (you can walk there from this property in about 15 minutes). | $435,000 A 1925 wood-sided cottage with four bedrooms and two bathrooms, on a 0.10-acre lot
