If Madison has a soul, it lives in Atwood and so could you. This beautifully updated one-bedroom-plus-office sits in one of the city's most beloved neighborhoods, steps from independent coffee shops, restaurants and near Olbrich Park and the Lake Monona shoreline. It's the kind of place you stop looking once you've found. Thoughtful updates and accents with genuine character included coffered ceilings, white oak cabinets, granite countertops, hardwood floors, and vintage tile. This isn't a flipped rental. It's a home.
