Charming Ranch Retreat in Kensington Acres North! Tucked away at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in the sought-after Kensington Acres North community, 3 Essex Lane offers the perfect blend of privacy, comfort, and convenience. This inviting 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom ranch is a rare find, a serene, natural setting-just minutes from Madison's vibrant town center, beaches, and train station. Step inside to discover beautiful light hardwood floors that run throughout the main living spaces. The spacious living room features custom built-ins and a cozy wood-burning fireplace, creating the perfect atmosphere for relaxing or entertaining. The kitchen includes stainless steel appliances, classic subway tile, hardwood flooring, and a handy pantry closet for additional storage. A sun-drenched glassed-in sunroom provides beautiful views of the wooded yard and opens directly onto a generous, very private composite deck-an ideal space for enjoying peaceful mornings or hosting summer gatherings. Two comfortable bedrooms include a primary suite with an en-suite bath, while a hall bath features a shower/tub combo and a convenient stackable washer and dryer. Additional highlights include a charming wet bar in the hall with extra storage, a newly installed gas boiler, and central air conditioning to keep you cool all summer long. Thoughtful access points from both the front and side entrances each with their own sidewalk add to the home's ease of use, and a detached garage completes the package!
