luxury house with terrace for sale Mequon, United States

Gracing the majestic shores of Lake Michigan, this Alexander Eschweiler estate is a symphony of historic grandeur and modern opulence. Originally built for Orrin W. Robertson, the President of Western Lime and Cement Co., this residence draws inspiration from the Loire Valley’s Château d’Azay-le-Rideau and has been elevated by a $1.6 million restoration. These expansive interiors feature a seamless, open flow, elevated by waxed hardwood floors, Venetian artistry, and a bespoke chef's kitchen. The upper floors boast seven bedrooms, including three with ensuites, and a lavish primary suite featuring its own dressing room and ensuite bath. Outside, the experience is unrivaled with pristine grounds and a patio with stone fire oven, limestone columns, handmade iron railings, and sweeping lake views. Also, a newly attached 50x20 showroom garage with heated concrete. Complete with a charming coach house with an additional three-car garage, this is a rare opportunity to own a piece of architectural history.

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!
