    What's special

    The charm and history of an 1894 Victorian home (one of the very first in the neighborhood) combine with modern upgrades and conscientious maintenance to make this home a Vilas jewel. Every decision has been made with the idea that we would be here forever, but an unexpected adventure beckons and our cherished house is now available for sale. We welcome prospective owners of all races, religious beliefs, genders, and orientations. The first floor of the Edward Kremers House features a large entry hallway with fireplace, living room, dining room, half bath, and kitchen. The stunning recently built kitchen is a pleasure for any cook, with gourmet appliances (Subzero freezer, Lacanche stove, Bosch dishwasher), ample natural light, in-floor heating, custom cabinetry including cherry pantry wall, and an efficient elegant floor plan. Up the grand front staircase you will find four bedrooms and a full bath. The finished third floor provides a stunning high-ceilinged space for use as a family room, guest room, or project swing space. The basement includes laundry area, wine cellar, and workroom. Recent maintenance and improvements include new wood shake roof, foundation repairs, furnace, new custom windows, on-demand hot water heater, exterior painting, backyard patio, and more. The intricate period details are a delight, including for example two sets of pocket doors, carved mantelpiece, rear staircase, transom window to third floor, and several original light fixtures. The spacious property includes the main lot and 10' of the lot to the east. Mature trees, perennial gardens, custom tree house, front (open) and rear (screened) porches plus easy access to Vilas Park and Monroe St. shops make the immediate and nearby surroundings a joy. The house is within easy walking distance to campus and near the #3 bus line. This is a remarkable Madison original home, ready to occupy, appreciate and enjoy.
