3320 Winnequah Road

About this home

Sixty feet of Lake Monona with a sand-bottom landing, a 1962 ranch opened up across the back and the Capitol skyline directly across the water.

Winnequah Road runs the length of the Monona peninsula, and this stretch faces northwest, which puts the downtown skyline and the sunset in the same window. The house was reworked in 2018: the back wall came out, the kitchen moved to the water side and the old screened porch became a four-season room with its own heat.

The shoreline here is unusually forgiving. Instead of the rock rip-rap common on the north shore, this landing is sand-bottom for the first thirty feet, which is why families with young kids tend to stop looking once they walk it. The pier is a removable aluminum sectional stored in the side yard each fall.

Monona is a separate city with its own school district, its own community center and a three-mile commute to downtown Madison. Buyers routinely find they get frontage here for what a near-water lot costs on Mendota.
