A charming Fairwoods gem offered for the first time in more than 30 years! Lovingly maintained and thoughtfully updated, this inviting Ranch combines the convenience of an exceptional location with the serenity of a park-like setting. Step into a spacious living room filled with natural light from the oversized casement window and anchored by a stunning floor-to-ceiling brick fireplace. The thoughtfully designed floor plan flows seamlessly into the dining room and beautifully renovated kitchen with white oak hardwood floors extending throughout the main living spaces. The kitchen features a large center island with granite and butcher block countertops, stainless steel appliances, and abundant maple cabinetry for exceptional storage. Just beyond the kitchen, step outside to a slate patio overlooking the lushly landscaped backyard with easy access to the detached two-car garage. The primary suite offers two closets and en-suite access to the hall bathroom. Two additional bedrooms, each with recessed lighting and privacy windows complete the main level. The lower level features a spacious recreation room, two flexible rooms with built-in bookcases that are ideal for home offices, the second full bathroom, a separate laundry room, workshop, and a storage/utility room. Ideally situated just over a mile from downtown Madison and direct NYC train service, and only moments from Loantaka Reservation.
