About This Property

Fully updated 1906 Victorian on Milwaukee’s historic East Side for rent, just one block walk from the charming shops and cafes on Downer Avenue and a short way from beautiful Lake Park as well as the 1-mile priority enrollment radius for Maryland Avenue Montessori. The house has been renovated top to bottom over the last several years in a way that’s both respectful to its period details and feels tasteful and stylish for a modern family. The custom-designed kitchen has blue shaker hardwood cabinets, a breakfast bar, and appliances by Bosch, Fisher & Paykel, and Bluestar–including a 48” restaurant quality range and a built-in espresso machine. The formal dining room has white-painted built-ins, a decorative fireplace, and plate rail along with local Chasing Paper wallpaper, and the stately foyer and living room feature original oak millwork restored to its original glory. Original oak and maple floors have been refinished throughout, as have stained glass windows in the living room and stair landing. The second-floor features four bedrooms, a marble-tiled bath with whirlpool soaking tub, and a fully rebuilt balcony overlooking the backyard. The third floor has been recently redesigned into a contemporary master suite with a separate sitting area, built-in planters, and a full marble bath with walk-in rain shower. The home is energy-efficient and well-maintained, with a mix of new windows and restored originals with storms- exterior repainted with new copper gutters and wood millwork/shake shingles- new central AC, boiler, water heater, washer/dryer, and much electrical wiring as well as a Ring doorbell, Ecobee smart thermostat, and Sonos built-in speakers. The house also sits on a fully-fenced double lot (cedar & wrought iron fencing) and is a gardener’s paradise, with established perennials in the front beds and river rocks including hydrangeas, roses, clematis, weigela, dicentra, cypress, cedar and a 20-foot oak tree as well as two large beds of WI natives and perennial wildflowers in the sunny back yard, separated by two sitting zones–a bluestone side path and patio and new concrete dining area just off the kitchen. A four-car garage both provides privacy and plentiful storage and parking and the full basement has additional cabinet storage and a full tool bench and workout area. Owners have reserved one garage bay for long-term storage, in consultation with tenants. The owners have left only because a job opportunity has taken them out of state for several years and are seeking tenants in a similar position who will act as responsible caretakers and enjoy this special house. Will require proof of combined annual salary 40x monthly rent and require credit and background checks. Pets on a case-by-case basis. Tenants will pay utilities and are responsible for yard/lawn work and snow removal–owners happy to provide references and leave supplies/equipment. Seeking 12 month lease beginning Aug 1. If interested please reach out with some information about yourself before submitting an application.
