Majesty meets opportunity in this extraordinary 1903 historical city estate, a crown jewel of Wilson's architectural heritage. Sprawling across two pristine acres, this remarkable 6,224-square-foot manor stands as the premier historical residence in the area, perfectly positioned just blocks from Barton College and the vibrant, revitalized downtown district.
Step through the grand entrance to discover a home that epitomizes timeless elegance, featuring a stunning Gone With the Wind staircase and exquisite French Zuber wallpaper in the expansive dining room. The estate boasts four generously-sized bedrooms, each with its own full bathroom, including one showcasing distinctive hand-painted wallpaper. Five classic fireplaces grace the interior, while a working passenger elevator adds modern convenience to historical charm.
The grounds, masterfully designed by renowned landscape architect Charles Gillette, create a park-like setting highlighted by rare Coastal Redwood trees. A sophisticated heating and cooling system with three distinct zones ensures year-round comfort. The property includes a two-car garage with potential upper-level living space, ample parking for 14+ vehicles, and an unfinished third floor offering 2,000 additional square feet of possibilities.
This storied residence presents an exceptional opportunity as a private estate, bed & breakfast, or event venue, especially with its proximity to the upcoming Milwaukee Brewers Mudcats stadium. The home's original features have been carefully preserved, from cedar closets to architectural details, with original blueprints included. A tankless water heater adds modern efficiency to this historic gem, while the butler's pantry and original kitchen have successfully hosted gatherings of 300+ guests, proving this estate's entertaining capabilities are unmatched.
