House on water! Near UW, Capital & Alliant Center

Enjoy a drink while sitting in the living room, looking out over Monona Bay & the Capital. What is better?--the view, or your proximity to downtown, UW campus, & the Alliant Center? Most mention the view. (Read some reviews!) Grill out and light the fire pit on the front lawn. Cross the street, and you're at the edge of Monona Bay. Parking is easy. Click “Show more” for things you might NOT like about the house: I'll be in the basement, pricing nuances, etc. Business travelers?--read on!
