If you are someone who loves a house with a story, this 1929 bungalow is going to steal your heart. There is just something so special about a home built in the late twenties. It has a sturdy, cozy feel that you can’t find in new construction. Located on Madison’s vibrant near east side, this home sits in a spot that lets you enjoy the best of the city while coming home to a quiet, historic retreat. The first thing you’ll notice when you step inside is the craftsmanship. The original woodwork is absolutely beautiful and has been kept in wonderful condition. It frames the rooms with a warm, rich feeling that makes you want to curl up on the sofa immediately. The hardwood floors have a deep glow that only real, aged wood can provide.
For those of us who love old houses but also love to cook, the kitchen is the best surprise. It has been opened up so you can chat with guests while you prep dinner. It features sleek stainless steel appliances that look great against the historic backdrop. It is the perfect blend of 1920s style and 2026 convenience. The home is also much larger than it looks from the outside! With four spacious bedrooms, you have plenty of room for family or guests. One of my favorite parts is the dedicated office space. If you work from home, having a quiet room with its own door is a total game changer.
The owners have put a lot of love into the bathrooms as well. You get two full bathrooms that have been beautifully updated to feel like a modern spa. It is so nice to have the vintage charm in the living areas but a crisp, clean, and luxurious feeling where it counts. Outside, the property continues to impress with a two-car garage—a big plus for those snowy Wisconsin winters. The lot is a generous size, giving you space for a garden or just a place to enjoy the fresh air.
The location is really unbeatable. You are within walking distance to some of the city’s best parks, local shops, and trendy places to eat. Whether you want to grab a coffee around the corner or take a short bike ride to the lake, everything is right at your fingertips. This bungalow isn’t just a house; it’s a chance to live the classic Madison lifestyle in a home that truly has a soul.
