Property Description

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!

I appreciated Keshia's professionalism with both the buying and selling of my properties. Throughout both experiences, she was incredibly professional and made the entire process feel truly painless. I was so impressed that we received an offer within just two weeks of her listing the property. When the first buyer attempted a low offer, I really appreciated how tactfully Keshia declined the offer, with my approval of course. Seeing a second offer come in during that same week for MORE than the listing price was fantastic! I also appreciate how Keshia was always available to explain documents and for answering all of my questions so quickly. She is a wonderful hands-on agent, and her commitment to walking me through every step of the process made me feel completely comfortable. It was such a pleasure to work with her.

Keshia is a superb real estate agent whose extraordinary competence and responsiveness inspired our confidence during a summer of searching. She listened carefully to what we hoped to find in a new home as we assessed those we visited, pointing out good and not-so-good qualities at each.. Her availability, consistent communication, warmth, and extraordinary diligence were a wonderful source of support for us. Most important, Keshia identified a home that perfectly matched our desires and guided us to a successful offer. In short, we loved working with Keshia Tally. We are grateful for her service and sure that prospective real estate clients will find her an excellent partner.
