Property Description

Originally built for Milwaukee’s Ladder Company #5, this extraordinary 1886 firehouse has been transformed into a one-of-a-kind single-family home on the East Side. Stripped to beautiful cream city brick and rebuilt with extraordinary care, the award-winning renovation blends soaring ceilings, massive double-hung windows, and industrial character with the finest materials and refined modern design. A dramatic three-story stair with leather-wrapped bronze railings connects all levels, while radiant floors, natural light, and inviting spaces make the home as comfortable as it is striking. Restaurants, coffee shops, trails, parks, and the lakefront are all nearby, though once you cross the catwalk to the hidden rooftop garden with pergola and hot tub, you may not want to leave!
