On this week's podcast, OnMilwaukee's Bobby Tanzilo and I are talking about an East Side mansion worthy of its $1.625 million price tag. At the time we recorded this episode, it is listed for sale at 2569 N Wahl Ave.
The mansion was built in 1899 for John Kern, a wealthy business owner. His family made its fortune in the milling business, and exported flour from its home base in Milwaukee.
The mansion features 5 bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms, spread across 5,686 square feet. Craftsmanship abounds with handsome built-ins, crown moulding and coffered ceilings. The exterior is constructed with eye-catching, burnt orange sandstone and boats a window-encased turret. And, let's not forget, a view of Lake Park and Lake Michigan.
