    What's special

    Elegant. White Edwardian with black shutters. Spectacular curb appeal. Situated on front 2/3 of two city lots. Architect-designed by Law & Law in historic district. Present owners bought directly from the first owners who built the home with finest materials available at the time [1920] when they married. Present owners have lived in this home for 37 years. They have the original blueprints and specs which they will pass on the new owner. This home is immaculate and turn-key, move-in ready. Owners have taken great pride in this home and have cared for it lovingly. Recent professional home inspection verifies that it is in excellent condition. The building, measuring 30' X 30', has 4 floors, so square footage measurement varies from 3600 to 2200 square feet depending on how it is figured. Note: assessor considers finished portion of basement and only the area of top floor under level part of sloped roof, even though the entire top floor is finished and in use. Oak woodwork on first floor has been hand rubbed, never painted. Interior walls and ceilings were just painted. Kitchen has been completely re-done from lath up. A powder room on main floor was completely re-done when kitchen was remodeled. All appliances are EnergyStar. Full bath on second floor was remodeled completely with glass surround shower and whirlpool tub. Top floor got a new half-bath when the area was remodeled into double bedroom. Roof was recently re-done with 40-year asphalt and ice dam guard. Garage deck has a new permanent "forever" membrane that can be walked upon. All windows have been replaced with Pella Architect Series double-paned, argon-filled highest energy efficiency; they match appearance of originals while greatly increasing comfort and reducing heating and cooling costs. Dining room windows additionally are adorned with beveled art glass. Natural gas furnace is of highest energy efficiency possible. The system is forced air. Whole house air conditioning was installed after windows were replaced. Aprilaire humidifying and SpaceGard air filtration have fostered the well being of a 6' grand piano. Wood-burning fireplace in living room was completely relined a few years ago and is usable. Fireplace in dining room is decorative only. A children's play house and a small water feature grace the garden. The yard has burr oaks, a birch cluster, Japanese maple, redbud and crab apple trees, beautiful shrubs including burning bush, magnolia, pyramidal dogwood, hydrangea, and flower gardens with perennials such as peonies, daylilies, mums, Great Blue hostas, pulmonaria, ferns and native Wisconsin wildflowers including trillium, geraniums, Solomon seal, hepatica, lily-of-the-valley and more.
