Finding a home that perfectly balances historical soul with modern luxury is a rarity. At Glass Slipper Homes, we are thrilled to present 5117 Lake Mendota Drive—a stunning Mid-Century Modern (MCM) masterpiece perched on a hillside in Madison’s coveted Spring Harbor neighborhood.

Having undergone a meticulous and complete interior remodel in 2025, this home isn’t just a place to live; it’s a work of art that captures the essence of Madison living.

The Vision: Authentic MCM Aesthetic, 2025 Luxury

The hallmark of this 1974-built home is its seamless blend of vintage style and high-end modern finishes. The recent renovation was thoughtfully executed to preserve the iconic MCM vibe—think clean lines, natural materials, and an effortless flow between indoor and outdoor spaces—while introducing the premium comforts today’s homeowners crave.

Space to Breathe: 5 Levels of Living

Boasting over 3,000 square feet across five expansive levels, the layout is designed for both privacy and connection.

  • 4 Bedrooms & 3.5 Bathrooms: Plenty of room for the whole family, including a primary suite that serves as a true sanctuary.
  • Dual Kitchens: A unique feature of this home is the presence of two full kitchens, perfect for the avid entertainer or multi-generational needs.
  • The “Mother-in-Law” Suite: One of the property’s most standout features is the dedicated and private guest or MIL living space. It comes fully equipped with its own kitchen, fireplace, walk-in closet, and ample storage, making it ideal for long-term guests or a luxury home office.

Views That Inspire

Nature is the primary guest at 5117 Lake Mendota Drive. Thanks to its hillside position, the home maximizes natural light through vaulted ceilings and large bay windows. The family room is bathed in warmth throughout the day, leading your eyes toward breathtaking views of Lake Mendota.

Outdoor Living & Entertaining

The experience continues outside with:

  • A Charming Screened Porch: The perfect spot for your morning coffee or a quiet evening book.
  • Large Deck: Designed for seamless entertaining against a backdrop of mature trees.
  • Tech-Ready Garage: The 2-car attached garage includes a Tesla/EV charger, bridging the gap between classic design and modern sustainability.

Location: The Best of Madison

Situated in the Spring Harbor subdivision, you are minutes away from the best of the city while feeling a world away in your wooded retreat. Families will appreciate being within the Crestwood/Jefferson/Memorial school districts, and everyone will love the proximity to the water.
