Tudor-style homes have been a big part of the Midwestern streetscape for decades; they seem to be a good fit with the solid character of America's heartland.

This split-level version sports a large kitchen, formal dining room, sunny, spacious living room and separate family room with a brick fireplace.

The lot is on one-third of an acre and is located near Lake Mendota, across the water from the University of Wisconsin's campus.

The interior of the home is in very good condition, according to agent Sue Stark, but the house will soon need a new roof and a few more minor upgrades.

She calculated repair costs would come to $30,000, part of the reason for its recent $27,000 price cut. But even at the original $277,000 price, she said, it'd still be a good deal for the area.
