About this home

Imagine walking through your own, private arboretum every time you arrive home. This extraordinary Madison Valley bungalow is privately situated at the very back of a large, beautifully curated, fully fenced and private garden that feels exactly like you’ve taken the scenic route. Originally built in 1928 and still presenting as a classic bungalow, this unique home has undergone a significant transformation over the years and has benefitted from thoughtful improvements in a fun and functional modern style. The main level living area is bright and comfortable with natural light, leaded glass casement windows, oak plank flooring and an original wood burning fireplace. The open, industrial style kitchen offers plenty of work and storage space along with a comfortable in-kitchen dining area. A generously sized bedroom with a fully renovated bathroom takes full advantage of large windows and full western exposure. The lower level has been fully remodeled and is accessible through an internal staircase but also has it’s own separate entrance and functions as a complete bedroom suite with sitting area, dressing room, workout space or office nook and a large, open spa style bathroom. A large mechanical room houses a full sized washer and dryer as well as a modern on-demand water heater, radiant coil floor heat, updated plumbing and modern electrical. Well maintained by fastidious owners and fully vetted in preparation for sale, this lovely home won’t disappoint.
