Baker's Place

Rooted in wellness. Elevated by design. It’s not just where you live—it’s how you live.

At Bakers Place, home is more than a space—it’s a return to balance. Thoughtfully designed with wellness at its core, this residence blends clean architecture with meaningful daily rituals. Exposed timber beams, curated textures, and smart home features quietly support your environment—light, air, and temperature shifting with your rhythm.

The Art of Home

Beyond the front door, life expands. Morning sun pours into the rooftop garden, where fresh herbs grow alongside intention. Organic deliveries from Vitruvian Farms arrive weekly to the garden room. There’s space to move, restore, and reconnect—from a fitness studio to a thermal suite designed for renewal.

You’ll also find the quieter luxuries: a library of 1,000 handpicked titles, serene lake views, and quiet corners that invite stillness. Below, Copa Vida café and a local market welcome you like a neighborhood ritual.

Neighborhood Insight

The History of The Gardner Baking Co.

At the heart of downtown Madison, Baker’s Place bridges heritage and innovation. The building’s story traces back to 1917, when the site was occupied by the Gardner Baking Co. — a wholesale bakery whose two-story brick structure anchored commerce along East Washington Avenue for decades.

Over the years, the original bakery building earned recognition for its historical significance and was flagged in Madison’s 1998 Downtown Preservation Plan as a landmark worthy of protection. Rather than erase that legacy, the current redevelopment preserves and restores the historic shell — integrating it into a bold new vision for urban living.

Downtown Madison

Welcome to Downtown Madison

Madison is the state’s capital, and the downtown centers around the state capitol building, an area known as The Square. There’s always something new happening on the Isthmus. Big-city aspects, with a small-town feel. From the Square, follow State Street to the University of Wisconsin campus, and add in Edgewood College and Madison College and you’ve got a college town. Business, government, music, the arts, and all things creative flourish here. A Tree City, there’s an abundance of green spaces and natural areas. The bicycle is a fixture, with trails for joy rides and commutes to downtown.
 
The City of Madison spans multiple neighborhoods 120 officially recognized. Those on the Isthmus juxtapose historic homes, bungalows, and cottage styles with modern high-rise condos, upscale style, and bohemian flair. Lake living whether on the water or with a water view of Lakes Mendota and Monona it's a coveted style of living.
