About this home

ARCHITECTURAL GEM IN THE WOODS. Marshall Erdman designed and built this in 1949, the same year he started collaborating with Frank Lloyd Wright and building FLW?s Unitarian Meeting House. William Kaeser completed an addition and distinctive carport in 1959. The 16 window sunroom addition is surrounded by nature and total privacy creating a magical ?forest retreat in the city?. The low-profile modest house is set back atop a hill with an oak savanna-like front yard, dense woods to the sides and rear, and is adjacent to Reservoir Park. The original house has clear cedar siding, deep eaves, a wood-burning fireplace, and a walkout lower level with a 2nd full bath and studio/office space. Desirable and convenient near-west location with quick access to everything. Buyer to confirm property?s historic status and addition/building/preservation options. WI History Ref # 73325. Maintenance lovingly deferred for the last 40 years. This gem needs polishing and is sold AS-IS. 2026 survey on file.
