6927 Wellauer Dr Wauwatosa WI 53213-3865 - More than a house, this home reflects a passion for craftsmanship and preserving its legacy. The home was originally designed and built by early 20th century architect, Max Fernekes, for his brother, Walter. Nearly a century later, the French Provincial-inspired residence remains true to its origins yet refined to meet the discriminating tastes of today. Kitchen Mart redesigned the kitchen and it is dynamite. The huge granite covered island, tasteful backsplash, SS appliances, a wine counter and cherry cabinets are so appealing even burnt toast will look appealing. The dining area is sure to be a favorite with its many windows and incredible views of the magnificent backyard. Likewise, the living room offers an abundance of natural light, newer crown molding and revamped gas fireplace. Upstairs, the hall bath was gutted yet the finishes work seamlessly with the character of the home. Three large bedrooms and multiple walk-in closets complete the upper level. The pergola-covered brick patio is like an extension of the living space. While recently installed fencing and reworked landscape make the rest of the backyard a true retreat. The garage has been modified to accommodate a future lift and epoxy flooring was recently applied. The list of updates and upgrades is extensive: exterior wrought iron pieces have been restored; wine refrigerator, refrigerator, RO system, garage door and opener all replaced in the last two years; the back hall drop zone and half bath were recently redone; virtually all light fixtures are newer; the pergola and fence added in 2020; hardwood floors refinished in 2020; rubber roof replaced; and the list goes on. Take one look at this home and you will see why the Wauwatosa Historical Society included this home in its Walk of Wellauer. Truly a home built, maintained and refined by those who truly appreciate quality and craftsmanship.
