524 Madison Street

Walk into whimsical retreat brimming with charm, creativity, and storybook curb appeal. Perfectly positioned just steps from downtown Anoka, this home blends vintage character with modern comfort—ideal for the imaginative soul or savvy investor. Inside, you will find an ecletic feel in each room - the tin ceiling steals the spotlight, complemented by custom millwork, warm wood floors, a reclaimed barn door, and an exposed brick accent wall. Mosaic tile inlays, hand-finished textured walls, and thoughtful artistic touches make each room feel one-of-a-kind. The updated kitchen features stainless steel appliances, a stylish backsplash, and light, airy cabinetry. Versatility is key here: the dining room can double as a main-floor bedroom with an adjacent full bath, while the lower-level bonus room could serve as a third bedroom with the addition of an egress window. With multiple nooks, a separate exterior entrance, and a lower-level 3-season porch, this space is perfect for guests, a rental suite, or a private studio.
Outdoors, mornings begin with coffee among the meandering garden paths and vibrant perennial beds in the front yard. The backyard is a lush, secluded oasis with mature trees, a spacious deck, and a shaded patio perfect for relaxing or entertaining. The garage—currently set up as a workshop—still has its overhead door for easy conversion back to parking. Located just blocks from Lincoln Elementary and Fred Moore Middle School, you’ll enjoy the small-town charm of Anoka with big personality: shop the boutiques, savor local coffee, dine in the entertainment district, stroll the river, or take in events like the Classic Car Show, Lyric Arts performances, and the iconic Anoka Halloween Parade. Year-round fun awaits—from summer afternoons at the Aquatic Center to winter evenings at the Tree Lighting Celebration.
