The condo offers stunning panoramic views of downtown Milwaukee and is perched on a hill overlooking the Milwaukee River. It’s a spacious, open-concept unit featuring a gas fireplace for cozy winters and a large patio perfect for summer relaxation. Within a 10-15 minute walk, you'll find numerous restaurants and shops. Lavender Hill is a quiet, charming neighborhood with the convenience of being close to downtown, offering the best of both worlds.
Originally built by a German artist in 1894, the Victorian home has been carefully restored and converted into two condos, with the unit available on the first floor. Fully updated in a modern style, it’s just a 10-15 minute walk to North Ave, Brady St, and downtown. The unit includes a large porch complete with patio furniture, a peninsula gas fireplace, in-unit laundry, WiFi, and a 50” flat-screen TV. It has two bedrooms—one with a queen bed, another with a queen-over-queen bunk bed, and a queen-size cabinet bed (similar to a Murphy bed) in the main living area. Off-street parking is available for one car, with ample street parking nearby. A bus stop is conveniently located one block away. Cable is provided through AT&T Direct Stream.
Although fully updated, the home retains some characteristics of its age. The upstairs unit has wood floors, and the sound insulation isn’t perfect, so noise from above may be audible. **Please note that the upstairs unit is also a rental. While the house rules prohibit late-night parties and emphasize respect for the downstairs unit, noise from large groups may be noticeable. If this is a concern, another listing might better suit your needs. Additionally, to respect the upstairs guests, loud or late-night parties are not permitted. If your visit to Milwaukee is for a more lively experience, staying at a hotel might be a better choice.
Lavender Hill is a peaceful neighborhood with a strong sense of community. Although tucked away in a quiet area, it’s right on the edge of downtown, providing easy access to everything. Most downtown destinations are just a 10-15 minute walk away, and a taxi or Uber ride typically costs less than $10. The bus stop is just one block away.
