On main buslines to campus, capitol, downtown and hospitals. Responsible, conscientious, responsive owner/manager lives nearby (me). Bike storage in locked garage. This apartment is separately locked. There is another, separately locked unit downstairs, typically occupied by a professional. A note on the house: It is old. Very old. Though we have done major upgrades and always maintained it, it is OLD. 1884. It is not perfect. Everything is serviceable & comfortably habitable. But this is most ideal for people who understand & are used to the quirks of old buildings. It is not the suburbs. The Neighborhood: Tenney-Lapham, on Madison's isthmus, is one of the most beloved neighborhoods in the city. It is very walkable, very convivial. It is a mix of grad students, young professionals, families headed by professionals, trades people and service industry workers. Many of all of the above are involved in a myriad of creative pursuits Madison is known for. This neighborhood captures everything that makes Madison the easy-going & fun place that it is. It is close but not too close to the campus action. Nearby locales: Johnson Public House is, in my opinion one of the top three coffee houses in town; it is across the street. A classic sole-proprietor bike shop is across the street. Burnie's Rock Shop is a rockhound's/jeweler's paradise, beloved far & wide, just down the block. Half a block away is a classic owner-operated corner shop. But wait, there's more! Too much more for me to list here....! Tenney Park, 3 blocks away--Picnic Central in summer, Ice Skating Central in the winter. James Madison Park is two blocks away. It is famous for it's bathing/frisbee beach during our two weeks of summer. The rest of the year it is a great place to watch waves freeze in mid-curl! Last, and least, there is car parking space available for rent on site (just ask). There is usually an on-street parking spot within a block, but driving and parking around here is (thankfully) not suburban convenient.
