Crafted in 1910 by pioneering architect Cora Tuttle, this special bungalow blends rich history with an unmatched setting. One of only ten homes abutting Vilas Park, it offers direct access to nature, bike path, and peaceful green space, all just moments from UW games and Monroe Street events. Featured on local architectural tours, this home showcases timeless character paired with thoughtful updates throughout. A coveted 2-car garage adds convenience, while the stunning rooftop deck delivers seasonal glimpses of Lake Wingra and treehouse-like charm - amazing for morning coffee and evening cocktails. Enjoy the distant roar of lions from the nearby zoo, a uniquely Madison experience. Eligible for historic tax credits, this is a rare opportunity to own a significant piece of the city’s architectural heritage in an extraordinary location. Welcome home!
