4101 Hillcrest Dr Rental

This charming 1350 sq ft, 2BR, 1.5BA house is in the quietest, safest, friendliest, and doggiest neighborhood in Madison, near the top of a hill and right across the street from 20-acre Hoyt Park. Hardwood floors, bright kitchen, built-in cabinetry, large walk-in master closet, large screen porch, patio, 1.5 car garage, central A/C, and a 1000 sq ft basement. $2000/month + all utilities. $50/month surcharge for pets. Utilities have run between $2200 and $3200 annually, with the highest monthly 2022 winter bill being $250/gas and $130/electric. The furnace and water heater use natural gas. The washer/dryer and A/C use electricity. Easy walk/bike to Hilldale Mall, three grocery stores, UW hospital, Sequoya library, etc. Just down the street is Madison's newest Midtown police station. Close to Midvale Blvd and Mineral Point Rd. Drawbacks: Tenant handles all typical homeowner duties, such as snow shoveling (150' of sidewalk!), leaf raking (seven mature trees!), lawn and garden care, cleaning roof and gutters, water softener salt, furnace filters, normal wear/tear, etc. The house has steep staircases. There is sometimes water in the basement with heavy rain. The kitchen and bathroom are small, by modern standards. The fireplace is not usable. Note: I won't be able to show the property until after Nov 26.
