MADISON EAST: TIRED OF COMPLEXES? Available 11/1/26 or 11/15/26 Free Utilities: Heat, Central Air, Electric, Water/Sewer included in rent. What a great place to live! Sunny 1 Bedroom Ranch Style DUPLEX with Shared Basement and additional flex space opportunities (see below) DESCRIPTION: Enjoy comfortable, convenient living in this one bedroom, one bathroom, first floor duplex located on Madison's vibrant East Side. This well-maintained one bedroom apartment features a bright, welcoming living room, an eat-in kitchen with a full sized refrigerator and stove, and a cozy bedroom with 12 ft. of built-in closet space. Perfect for young professionals, grad students, or anyone looking for a quiet neighborhood feel with easy access to downtown and the interstate. This is the closest thing to having your own home, with its own address and entrances, located in a quiet neighborhood of mostly single-family houses with lots of mature trees all around. Ideal location behind Olbrich Gardens, just off the main bike path by Olbrich Park, two blocks from the new Starkweather Dr. bike path and walking bridge over the creek makes Garver Feed Mill and Ian's Pizza a brief walk or bike ride away. Woodman's East Food Store and the Milwaukee St. bus stop is a short walk of about seven city blocks. Have a kayak? You can carry it to Starkweather Creek and paddle forward to Lake Monona. The main ground-floor layout includes everything you need for day-to-day living, but this property offers rare flexibility with an expansive full size basement below! Must see to appreciate, most tenants have stayed four or more years, which tells the story best! Many have moved only because they bought a house or duplex themselves. I rented here myself for five years (it's a truly great location) before buying it and after living on the other side for an additional two years after purchasing, eventually moving to a single-family home. KEY FEATURES AND AMENITIES: Main Floor: One bedroom, one-bathroom, full kitchen, and living room, private entry to both kitchen and living room. Separately addressed as 3414 Richard St. Free Utilities: Heat, Central Air, Electric, Water and Sewer included in rent. Free Shared Laundry: Full-size front load washer and dryer located in the basement, shared only with the tenant on the other side. No more quarters or laundromats! Flooring: Fantastic oak flooring in both the bedroom and the living room (previously carpeted over). Brand new Luxury Vinyl Tile in the kitchen and bathroom. New carpeting in the optional basement spaces (see below). Paint: Freshly painted before new flooring went in. Appliances: New Full Sized Refrigerator, New Gas Stove/Oven, In-Sink Disposal Free Storage: Dedicated, secure storage space in the basement is included at no extra cost. Shared Areas: In addition to your private storage room, the shared areas include an even larger storage room with lots of built-in shelving shared with only the one other tenant on the other side, free washer and free dryer area, a folding table, large cement utility tubs and a work bench area. Bonus Flex Space (Optional for a Small Additional Fee): The basement features two additional dry-walled and carpeted rooms (with an open ceiling). Perfect for a home office, hobby room, or extra lounge or workout space, or if you just own a LOT of stuff. Both are currently available for a small additional monthly fee (negotiable) if desired. These rooms have separate doors and keys for privacy and security. One is approximately 12' x 24' and the other approximately 12' x 15' These rooms are only offered to tenants but kept locked if no one needs the additional space. NOTE: These rooms may NOT be used as a bedroom, due to local codes. Parking: One off street parking space included with optional space for a second car. LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION Situated on a very quiet and highly desirable residential neighborhood on Madison's East Side. Close to local parks, Lake Monona, bus lines, shopping, and dining, with a quick commute to UW-Madison, The Capitol Square, and major highways. The changes made to Starkweather Drive in the last few years have only made this location better than ever! IMPORTANT RESTRICTIONS AND RULES No Smoking Allowed of Any Kind: This is a strict No Smoking apartment, including vaping, absolutely no exceptions! No Pets Allowed Noise Rules are Enforced: Due to the side-by-side design of the building and proximity to your neighbor on the other side of the duplex loud music, TV, etc. is not allowed. If you like cranking your stereo, or smoking anything EVER, this is Absolutely Not the place for you! The tenant on the other side works from home requiring reasonable quiet (no excessively loud music or TV) during the standard workday (8 AM to 5:30 PM Monday to Friday). Tenant Responsibilities: Tenants are responsible for shoveling sidewalk and their off-street parking spot in the winter and raking of leaves in the fall. Landlord takes care of grass cutting. GENERAL INFORMATION References, credit and background checks required. Good rental history and proof of adequate income are necessary. ($1475 for one person or $1575 if two people/month) $1475/$1575 Security Deposit and both First and Last Month's Rent required before moving in. (Three times the applicable rental amount.) Please feel free to call or text if you have any questions or if you would like to receive an application. I am also happy to Email a copy of the apartment rules and screening criteria should you like to see these in advance. Please leave a voice mail if I do not answer, I will return your call when possible. I am posting lots of photos so you will get an idea why this apartment is always in high demand. NOTE: Just a note on the Square Footage which is hard to estimate in a unit like this. The ground floor apartment is about 550 sq. ft., the separate storage for this unit is about 70 sq. ft., the shared space in the basement is about 560 sq ft. If you combine the first two and divide the last one in half it comes to 900 sq. ft. However, there are also two optional rooms which means another 280 sq ft and an additional 180 sq. ft. are available. All numbers above are approximate. THANKS FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION! Negotiable lease term. Typically I start with a Six Month Lease that converts to Month-to Month after that initial period.
