About this property

They simply do not build houses like this anymore. Dating to 1875, this Cream City brick Victorian is a true piece of Brewer's Hill history, filled with the craftsmanship, scale and character that make Milwaukee's oldest homes so special. Original hardwood floors, substantial millwork, soaring ceilings and oversized windows set the tone from the moment you walk in. The home has been thoughtfully improved while allowing its historic details to remain the star. Four bedrooms include a remarkable two-story primary suite, while the double lot offers a fenced yard, brick patio, private driveway and oversized 22x32 garage. With central air and modern conveniences already in place, this is a chance to own something genuinely distinctive in one of Milwaukee's most iconic historic neighborhoods.
