Description

Overflowing with timeless character and modern elegance, this charming Colonial in the pristine, coveted location within Wauwatosa’s Glenview Heights’ Rockway-Brookside Historic District combines the best of historic style and thoughtful custom improvements on a spacious oversized lot. 

Highlights include a primary suite with walk-in closet and spa-like bath, 3 more large bedrooms with custom closets, 1st floor family room/sunroom and also a home office, an oversized laundry room, a mudroom with more storage, an expansive lower-level recreation room with bar and full bath, and an attached, two car garage.  Whether you’re entertaining or enjoying family time, every inch of this classic residence is designed and built for comfort and elevated living. 

The gracious foyer sets the tone with its impressive slate tile and central staircase. The large living room’s natural fireplace, elegant millwork, built-in shelving, and beautiful wool carpeting make an ultimate space for cozy evenings or lively gatherings. The formal dining room is equally striking with spectacular hardwood flooring ideal for large holiday feasts or intimate dinners. And the heart of any home -the kitchen – includes custom cabinetry, granite countertops, wood flooring, high-end appliances and custom breakfast nook providing the perfect place to share daily highlights.  

Tucked beyond is a mudroom with clever built-in cubbies and an enviable laundry room overlooking the backyard equipped with washer, TWO dryers, and plenty of counter space. A main floor half bath extends convenience to both residents and guests. 

But nothing says AHHHHHH! quite like the magnificent, custom-built, large Sunroom/Family Room featuring a vaulted ceiling, wool carpeting, and oversized windows on three sides.  Your family and guests will experience pure relaxation with access to the rear patio and massive backyard — perfect for enjoying summer nights, grilling with friends, or simply relaxing under the mature tree canopy. 

The entire second level was completely rebuilt in 2013 to create 4 generously sized bedrooms, including a luxurious primary bedroom suite designed with both beauty and function in mind. The vaulted ceiling, stunning hardwood flooring, custom cabinetry, abundant natural light, and a spa-inspired bathroom with heated flooring provide a true retreat. The walk-in closet has custom built-ins for maximum organization and, with more natural light, is a room all its own! Three additional bedrooms with ample storage share a second marble tiled bath with tub, custom vanity, and designer fixtures. A walk-in attic with windows to the west and north provides more storage and expansion opportunities. 

And just when you think this home couldn’t offer more — head downstairs to the massive finished lower level that extends the length of the house. Whether you desire a media room, playroom, home gym, guest suite, or all of the above, this flexible space offers endless possibilities. Tastefully finished the space includes a full bathroom and yet more storage, making it as functional as it is inviting. Your home will be the gathering place for friends and family. 

Outside, the oversized lot provides beauty and privacy with professional landscaping, gorgeous flowering trees and a private patio ideal for al fresco dining and weekend lounging. The attached 2-car garage makes for convenient parking and extra storage. 

And, finally, this beautiful home sits in one of Wauwatosa’s most sought after, secluded-yet-accessible neighborhoods. It overlooks other classic homes and a large green space for neighborhood play. The quiet, tree-lined sidewalks lead to exceptional primary schools (St. Jude and Wauwatosa’s Wilson/STEM). Multiple high-quality public and private high schools are likewise easily accessible.  The Medical College of Wisconsin, Froedtert, Children’s Hospital, coffee shops, restaurants, and a grocery store are just blocks away.  

Meticulously and lovingly cared for, this extraordinary home combines impeccable style with the best of modern-day Wauwatosa.
