Set on five wooded acres at the end of a private, tree-lined drive in Mequon, this Victorian original delivers rare character with real ease. Built in 1886 and thoughtfully carried into the present, the home pairs authentic period detail with modern comfort–carved mantels and rich millwork beside an updated primary suite, an upper den, and a heated four-car garage. The grounds steal the show: sculpted gardens, a waterfall spilling into a tranquil pond, stone patios, and a fire pit made for long evenings. Inside, a light-filled octagonal sunroom, a chef’s kitchen wrapped in dramatic granite, and gracious living spaces make everyday life feel like a retreat. A rare blend of history, craftsmanship, and privacy in one address.
