Located on Lake Drive just north of Milwaukee, this striking three-story Shorewood home spans approximately 4,755 square feet and sits on a lush half-acre bluff overlooking the water. Designed by Herman J. Esser—known for iconic local landmarks like the riverfront colonnade of the former Gimbel Brothers Department Store and the building now housing the Milwaukee Repertory Theater—the residence still boasts original detailing, including exterior stone gargoyles, rich architectural millwork, heated floors, and leaded glass, alongside updated kitchen and bathroom spaces.

Featuring six bedrooms, three full bathrooms, and two half-baths, the home includes rare lakefront access with a private sandy beach—making it a truly exceptional find. Last sold in 2002 for $725,000, the current listing price reflects the rising value of North Shore waterfront homes, a trend noted by listing agent Suzanne Powers of Powers Realty Group, who specializes in luxury properties in the area.
