About this home
Public Remarks: This lovely, good-sized home conveniently located near the freeway and just a block from Wauwatosa absolutely exudes old-world charm! You'll love all of those details--from the hardwood flooring and natural woodwork to the French doors leading to the beautiful formal dining room, featuring a coved/ tray ceiling and lovely built-in china cabinet. The retro rec room in the basement provides a lot of potential for added liveable space, as well. Outside you'll find a convenient side driveway (no alley!) leading to a 2-car garage w/ 220 power. This home does needTLC; will you be the one to restore it to its former glory? Paint and flooring will go a LONG way to getting it there. Opportunity is knocking for some great sweat equity on this home, whose 2024 assessed value is $247,700!

RS6
Single-Family Residential District
The purpose of the RS6 single-family district is to promote, preserve and protect neighborhoods intended primarily for single-family dwellings with traditional urban character. This district allows smaller lots, smaller setbacks and a higher lot coverage than the other single-family districts. The neighborhoods found in this district were platted and developed, in large part, in the late 1800’s and early 1900’s. This district also allows traditional corner commercial establishments commonly found in more urban neighborhoods.
