Charm, Intelligent Design and Expert Craftsmanship

This custom-built Design Shelters, LLC (2017) transitional-contemporary home is situated within the Capitol Heights neighborhood with skyline views of Madison’s capitol.  Capitol Heights is Wisconsin’s first “Green Built” Parade of Homes site. This home exudes charm, intelligent design and expert craftsmanship. The quaint front yard is heavily landscaped while the significantly larger, more private (no neighbors/houses) backyard space is great for entertaining. Located steps away from a bike/walking path and a short walk to Oak Meadow Park.

This home has all the bells and whistles: a Ring® doorbell, 9’ ceilings, engineered Red Oak wood flooring (with a ¾” top layer so they can be refinished, if desired), custom built-in cabinetry, dramatically exposed main level beams, top-down bottom-up Graber cordless blinds on every window, a paver patio with a gas line hook-up for grilling, LED overhead recessed can lighting throughout, large Andersen® casement windows and a plethora of natural light.

The kitchen’s large (3-panel) sliding patio door overlooks the paver patio and backyard lined with pine trees. The kitchen includes: cherry cabinetry with soft-close drawers and cabinets, a large island with gorgeous high-end granite countertops, an undermount sink, a gas stove, stainless appliances, pantry, subway tile backsplash, under-cabinet lighting and a built-in microwave. Be sure to check out all the small details like the custom built-ins for: silverware drawer organization, the spice rack in the cabinet by the stove and a cabinet to hide the trash/recycling. The dishwasher was recently replaced in the Spring of 2021.

You’ll love the open concept floor plan that brings the kitchen, dining and living room spaces together exceptionally well. This area is excellent for entertaining or keeping an eye on a loved one or pet(s). The dramatic stone surround around the gas fireplace is a focal point of the dining area. Another eye-catching feature in the dining space is a beautiful serving station/charging station that boasts a gorgeous granite countertop, built-in cabinetry and even a USB outlet.

The living room has large oversized windows emitting a plethora of natural light. Another eye-catching feature is the floating cabinetry with a mid-century modern design aesthetic. This stunning built-in has an abundance of storage, soft-close drawers and provides an area to neatly tuck away TV and AV components.

The oversized laundry room is conveniently located on the main level. This is not your typical laundry room – it boasts built-in cabinetry, a utility sink and granite countertops which is perfect for folding clothes. Due to this room’s spaciousness, it is also being used as secondary office space. The Sellers had a gorgeous custom wood desk installed for a work station that overlook the backyard.

Lastly, the main level boasts a large walk-in closet with custom closet system designed and installed by Closets By Techline. This has not only been an ideal space to store jackets, shoes, winter gear, but anything else you desire.

The upstairs boasts three bedrooms, two full baths and a pocket office. The pocket office built-in cabinetry complete with file organizer drawers with a skyline view of the capitol. The owner’s suite space has five large windows creating an abundance of natural light, and a walk-in closet complete with storage system. The owner’s bath includes quartz countertops, spacious walk-in shower, a private room for the Kohler toilet, and a reclaimed antique sliding door with full length mirror from a local store, Deconstruction.

The main bath upstairs boasts: LVP flooring, an expansive granite counter top and a bath/shower combo.

The two additional bedrooms upstairs have beautiful views of the backyard, ample space and custom shelving in the closets.

The basement space is an additional living area that is terrific for hosting guests, movie nights, and could also be used for a workout space or kid’s playroom. This space has exposed windows bringing in lots of natural light. You’ll love the built-in cabinetry from the garage to the basement. This is wonderful for storing shoes, coats, and additional items. The built-in bench also opens for another storage space. Another noteworthy feature is the hidden storage room located inside of the garage. Every square inch of this home maximizes storage and thoughtful design.

This home is part of a stand-alone condo community that charges $95 per month for snow removal (driveway and front steps) and lawn care (mowing and fertilizer services).
