This vibrant, light-filled Heritage Heights ranch home is on the market for the first time in 40 years — and one look will tell you why it’s a keeper. Three bedrooms, two+ baths, huge walk-out lower level with ample natural light. Updated kitchen and flooring, tons of storage. Smart layout that combines open-plan ideas with great room-to-room flow. Downtown is only 20 minutes away, with quick access to the east side, shopping, and commuter routes. It’s all here. From the floor-to-ceiling windows and screen porch, you’ll be reminded every day that you’re in one of the most lovely natural areas in Madison. The large yard is sculpted into the hillside, and backs up onto Heritage Sanctuary. Kennedy Park is your front yard, and the tree-lined streets of this established, quiet neighborhood invite walking and biking. This is a must-see home with "x-factors" hard to find in the area. It's next to an idyllic forest, but homes like this don't grow on trees. Waiting is not an option.
