reetings autumn and a warm welcome to all that our wonderful city offers this time of year. The pandemic hibernation of 2020 definitely put a damper on our social calendar, but the Madison real estate market did not miss a beat. The Chas Martin Team is working harder than ever to find ideal homes and “just right” buyers to keep up with the high demand. We are so grateful for our steadfast team and exceptional clients. See what we’ve been up to with our market recap (page 3).

Now that fall is looming, we can hardly wait to attend Badger football games, enjoy our alluring lakes in new color, and stroll the village sidewalks and parks in cooler temps.

We always look forward to bringing the color of the season into our homes. This year the scene will look a little different with work and school back in person and new design trends emerging (page 7).

The Century House story began more than 70 years ago with a small pottery studio on what was, at the time, the western edge of Madison.

Today, as a full-scale Scandinavian/ modern furniture and gift store with three locations along University Avenue – including the original stone “Century House” – we feel privileged to still be serving this neighborhood, greater Madison, and beyond.

We’ve grown as Madison has grown. From furnishing generations of area households to providing furniture for some of Madison’s most beautiful commercial spaces to offering interior design services, we’re constantly looking for ways to better serve our customers.

Building relationships – one person, one neighborhood at a time – is a Century House cornerstone. And Shorewood Hills, in many ways, represents the heartbeat of our customer base – one that appreciates quality and the timeless aesthetic of Scandinavian and modern design.

Here’s to another 70 years. Thank you, Shorewood. We couldn’t have done it without you. ⁃

Jacob Harlow General Manager / Co-Owner

t h e M o n r o e ’s “Chas was simply outstanding, going above and beyond at every step from first contact to close. She is knowledgeable, personable, responsive, patient, and dedicated to truly understanding her clients’ priorities. Despite historically low inventory and intense buying competition we ended up with the perfect place, and it would not have happened without Chas. Thank you!”

Staging with Sprinkman Design Collective

T i ny D e t a ils, Bi g Payoffs Turning a home into a haven is not just about arranging furniture. It’s about creating a space that induces a sense of calm and well-being. Getting potential buyers to fall in love with your home doesn’t need to be complicated. Staging investments are real returns that you’ll see on the offer price of your home.

Our professional stagers at Sprinkman Design Collective are here to share their expertise.

“It’s hard to describe how much Chas and her team did to help us sell our home in Madison. We wanted to make the spring market, but we weren’t completely ready to sell, and we were not around to help prepare the house. Chas assisted with everything. She recommended and met vendors for painting, finishing cabinetry, plumbing, lighting, cleaning, junk removal, and even movers. She would run to Home Depot to get fixtures and text me receipts afterwards.

I can’t imagine someone more helpful than Chas. She really went above and beyond.

On the sale process, Chas gave good advice on pricing the house that helped us get multiple offers and a price above our asking price. I would highly recommend Chas and her team at Sprinkman.”

—Matt Wolf, Seller of 3215 Topping Rd
