About This Home

Nestled on a quiet cul-de-sac and backing directly to Owen Park, this beautifully updated soft contemporary 4 bedroom raised ranch offers the perfect blend of style, comfort, and an unbeatable location. Inside you'll notice the hardwood floors and kitchen featuring maple cabinetry, a pantry, and a sunny eat-in area that flows seamlessly into the informal dining and family room. Cozy up by the built-in wood stove or unwind on the newly stained deck with pergola, landscaped yard, stunning perennial gardens, and backyard path going to Crestwood trail to Owen Conservancy and Crestwood School. The spacious primary has been enhanced with additional windows for natural light and features a beautifully remodeled en suite bath with a custom-tiled walk-in shower. The second full bath has also been tastefully renovated, and the convenient upstairs laundry adds everyday functionality. Ideally located just minutes from parks, shopping, UW Hospital, and the University of Wisconsin
