<h3>Property Details</h3>
<p><a href="http://www.booneandjessinmadison.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/6957d-Front-Distance.jpg" rel="lightbox[436]"><img src="http://www.booneandjessinmadison.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/6957d-Front-Distance-150x150.jpg" alt="" title="6957d-Front-Distance" width="150" height="150" class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-442" /></a>Stylish, updated 2 bedroom, 1.5 bathroom townhouse for sale on the west side. Our condo is perfect for any young professional, those looking to downsize with style, or those just starting out. You’ll be able travel anywhere in the city with quick access to Verona road, Hwy PD, and the Beltline. The condo is also close to Epic Systems, the new Target, Elver Park, grocery stores, West Towne mall, and more.</p>
<p>We’ve done all the updating for you -paint, trim, doors, lights, fixtures, appliances – so you can just move your stuff in. Glowing hardwood floors downstairs and soft carpet upstairs make it easy to clean. You’ll love cooking in the updated kitchen with stainless-steel appliances, under cabinet lightening, and unique high-end concrete counter tops. All the appliances are “green” and energy star rated which is good for your pocketbook and your conscience. It’s easy to entertain and enjoy the Wisconsin weather (when it’s good) from the large deck off the kitchen and dining room.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.booneandjessinmadison.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/6957d-Bedroom-Office.jpg" rel="lightbox[436]"><img src="http://www.booneandjessinmadison.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/6957d-Bedroom-Office-150x150.jpg" alt="" title="6957d-Bedroom-Office" width="150" height="150" class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-443" /></a>The master bedroom has ample closet space and is right next to the full bathroom. Use the versatile second bedroom for whatever you need; bedroom, office, or bring in a roommate to help pay the bills.</p>
<p>No need for any storage unit fees because there is extra storage in the basement, and the washer and dryer in the basement are both less than two years old. The two-car garage allows for more storage space and private parking.</p>
<p>If you travel a lot, no need to worry about house sitters. Just pay your monthly dues ($160) and the association shovels the snow, mows the lawn care, takes care of the shared green space, and pays insurance for outside of building. Your furry friends are welcome here too – cats and dogs welcome, (up to two pets) dogs up to 75 pounds.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It has been quite some time since I posted anything here. Both of us have been really busy lately, busy and rather boring. Our big excitement last weekend was cleaning our condo. &#8230;and I mean CLEANING our condo. We cleaned top down left right left right a b a b a start and then some. We even gave our hardwood floors, that we love so much, the cleaning trifecta of sweep, swiffer, and wax.</p>
<p>Perhaps it was the (are-you-good-golly-serious) Badger&#8217;s loss on Saturday, but we found ourselves motivated and extra productive. We even added the garage to our cleaning hit list, as we still had concrete powder everywhere from our concrete countertop project a month ago. The place looked as if we had brought in a CSI team to dust for prints. (&#8230;none were found). Thankfully, we got all the dust off and out and are once again able to comfortably park two cars with workspace.</p>
<p>Who knows what exciting series of events this weekend will bring, GoodWill donation run, laundry room make-over, Bed Bath &#038; Beyond. I don&#8217;t know if there will be enough time.</p>
<p>Actually, our place is really nice now and we are thrilled to finally have it spotless. If you are lucky enough to have &#8220;Fall&#8221; open those windows, take a walk, pick some apples, carve a pumpkin, kick-back with a cup of hot cider, and have a great week!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It&#8217;s been 1 year since we bought and moved into our condo and what a year it has been. We never thought owning a condo would take up so much of our thoughts, time, and money. We also never thought owning a condo would be so different from owning a house, both good and bad. We&#8217;ve enjoyed fixing it up and most of what we have done are little things: paint, new lights, a dishwasher, and various decorations and furnishings.</p>
<p>We are anxious for spring and summer to come so we can start more projects, but a lot of what is left to do is bigger so we will have to wait until after our wedding run in July. We are trying to make smart home improvements, ones that will increase the value of our home while still allowing us to be able to make the money back when we sell. It&#8217;s a tough condo market in Madison right now, but  we are researching things carefully before jumping into it (those who know us best are saying, duh!).</p>
<p>For those of you who haven&#8217;t been to our place, here are a few pictures so you can see what we are up to.</p>

<p>Unfortunately, we don&#8217;t close until mod-April. That&#8217;s two months of waiting to move in! And April will be busy with weddings, showers, plannings, etc.Â  But it gives us some needed wedding and packing time.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So, Boone and I decided we didn&#8217;t have enough to do and started house hunting. We plan on staying here for a while, so why not build some equity in the Madison market. It&#8217;s a bit overwhelming for us clueless realestate newbies &#8211; escrow, closing costs, assessment, school district. But we figure it&#8217;s the best choice for us. Hopefully we find something that we can handle and love at the same time.</p>
