      <description>4794 Windsor Prairie Rd,  DeForest, WI  53532&lt;br /&gt;Seller says to bring your horses to this small country subdivision near Madison.  This just under 2 acre, tree lined estate has much to offer.  The location is in the desirable Waunakee School District and an easy commute to DeForest &amp; Sun Prairie, as well. 

Hard to find a cleaner, better maintained ranch. Virtually everything has been replaced, from the drain tile to the roof.  The kitchen, baths, flooring, appliances and mechanials have all been updated.  Has the best of both, hot and cold.  Efficient, radiant hot water heat, plus central air! 

The main floor has all 3 bedrooms with refinished oak floors.  Two full baths.  One that includes the spacious laundry area.   

The exposed lower level family room is big enough for those large gatherings or just to watch TV or play games. There are 2 other finished rooms for an office or crafts and another laundry hook up. 

The 2 car garage is oversized and insulated.  Need more space?  How about a 40x24 ft work shop with a heated office space, electric sub-panel and welders outlet.  Bring the toys and the tools.</description>

      <description>6123 Johnson St,  McFarland, WI  53558&lt;br /&gt;Perfect blend of old with new.  Tired of looking at boring drywalled boxes?  End your search here!  The historic Johnson House is up for bids.  Built in 1875, this McFarland original farm house offers the best of both worlds.  The charm of olden days has been perserved with modern updates. 

The photos speak volumes.  Features that are hard to find in new homes at this price, like huge master bedroom with full, private bathroom.  Check out the claw foot tub.  Great for soaking in on those cold nights. 

Brand new kitchen has butcher block counters, all new appliances, new fixtures and 2 sinks.  Perfectly mixed with the age of this home.  The re-furbished maple flooring was a great find and matches the original character of this vintage home. 

Very large dining room is the hub of the old farm house and perfect for entertaining.  Relax in the living room or upstairs offers another family area, complete with built-in shelves and original fur flooring. 

There is a larged fenced yard and 2 car garage.  The paver brick walk way and drive way are designed from antique bricks and completes the feeling of old world living in a modern age.

      <description>1704 Laurel Crest,  Madison, WI  53705&lt;br /&gt;Step back in time when you view this mid century modern home.  The classic clean lines, light brick interior walls and built-in kitchen booth, will make you feel as though the sixties are alive &amp; well and living on Laurel Crest.  Most all light fixtures are original, except those in the newer addition. 

This home was originally built as a one bedroom.  The second and current owner built a well planned addition.  A large master bedroom, with 2 closets and 4 season room were added, as well as a full basement beneath.  The house is heated by hot water, so in-floor radiant hot water was plumbed to the new rooms when added, making all 1449 sq feet cozy and warm ( even when the wood burning fireplace is not being used). 

Lots of possibilities in the clean, unfinished basement, with high ceilings.  Easily add more finished sq feet or used for lots of storage.   

This is a natural gardener's delight.  The rain garden is established and lots of native Wisconsin perennials have been planted.  An occasional frog likes to visit this private, hiding place.  Also room for  vegetables too.  The garden shed has a skylight for starting seedlings in the Spring and offers storage for all of the tools for lawn care.  Rain barrels are also included. 

Enjoy those warm Summers on the 2 tiered deck, overlooking the gardens while sipping your favorite beverage and fire up the grill.   

Home warranty included for your peace of mind.</description>

      <description>W11634 Demynck Rd,  Lodi, WI  53555&lt;br /&gt;Built in 2000, there is 4374 square feet of finished living space, per the assessors office.  The list price is well under the assessment, making it priced to sell quickly.  You do the math.  Home on over 1/2 acre, mature, wooded lot with lake view.  Price per finished square foot is approximately $82/sq ft, including the lot!!!  Not only that, you will find this bargained-priced home in the heart of Lake Wisconsin's recreational area.  It is still an easy 25 minute commute to east or west Madison.  The well placed home offers views of the lake side and wooded views behind.  The acres of green space in the rear is protected from further development, ensuring privacy into the future.  See the link for "Scenic Paradise Island".  Check out all of the links to see what this great area has to offer. 

This contemporary 2 story home is filled with amenities found in much more expensive homes.  Upgrades include central vacuum, a built-in sprinkler system and separate stairway to lower level from the garage.  Pair that with the 30 foot deep stall in 3 car garage, designed for your boat storage. 

On entering, you can't help but be drawn into the impressive great room.  The focal point here is the massive stone fireplace.  You will love the built-in gas starter for wood logs. This fireplace burns outside combustion air and has a blower fan.  Along with the ceiling fan, this helps to circulate the warm air and minimize drafts. 

Just off the great room is the owner's suite.  It has an extra high tray ceiling and attached luxurious bath.  Relax in the deep tub, complete with back massaging jets &amp; hand held sprayer. (Sprayer also comes in handy for cleaning the tub).  There is a private room with shower and toilet, as well as the convenient walk-in closet, with a complete system of built-in drawers and hanging rods. 

Any chef would love the kitchen this home offers.  Be sure to see all of the photos that highlights all of the storage and perks here.  All appliances are included and covered under a one year home warranty provided by the Seller. 

The upper level has an enjoyable loft area that looks out to the lake; a great place to watch the sunset or read a novel &amp; sip your favorite beverage.  All of the bedrooms in the home are generous in size and closet space.  The 2nd bedroom has a wonderful, walk-in closet/dressing room.  Although there are no windows, making it very private, there is a skylight to bring in the natural light.  A 3rd large bedroom and full bath, complete the second level. 

The huge, finished lower level has the 4th bedroom.  Because it has a partially separated sitting room, sleeping area and wet bar, it makes the perfect mother-in-law suite or teenager hideout.  There is another full bath that services this area, as well as the rec-room.  A second wet bar, with space for a mini fridge and microwave will make your Packer parties well attended. 

The property is part of the Paradise Island Home Owner's Association.  The fee is $60/year and includes access to piers for swimming, an annual picnic and a boat slip.  There are more homes in the subdivision than boat slips, so there is a waiting list.  However, there is public access and often rental slips available nearby, giving you lake benefits, without the high taxes.
