Set in Wausau's historic Highland Park District, this charming brick two-story home showcases the character and craftsmanship that make historic properties so special. A classic brick exterior draped in well-maintained vines creates an inviting first impression, while inside, original details have been thoughtfully preserved to celebrate the home's history. Beautifully refinished maple hardwood floors, French doors, original wood windows, built-in cabinetry and a brick wood-burning fireplace all contribute to the home's timeless appeal. The current owners have carefully balanced preservation with functionality, incorporating modern updates where they matter most. The completely remodeled kitchen features gorgeous tile backsplash, stunning countertops, an imported faucet from England, custom walnut pantry drawers, soft-close cabinetry and included high-end appliances while maintaining a style that feels appropriate to the home's era. Off the kitchen, the dining room features the original built-in buffet and glass-front cabinetry, creating a beautiful focal point and the perfect setting for hosting gatherings. Natural light pours throughout the home, including the oversized living room leading to a bright office/sunroom that creates a warm and welcoming atmosphere. To complete the main level, there is a convenient half bath and tucked-away mudroom for shoes and everyday essentials. The restored staircase makes a statement in the foyer and leads to the upper level, where updated lighting complements the home's historic character and a spacious landing enhances the sense of openness. The second level includes an updated full bath and four bedrooms, featuring walk-in closets, including a unique 12-window bonus room that would make an excellent playroom, office, reading nook, yoga studio or flex space to fit your lifestyle. The lower level remains unfinished but offers excellent functionality with dedicated spaces for laundry, a workshop area and abundant storage. With a fenced backyard, outdoor patio space, detached garage and a location surrounded by some of Wausau's most architecturally significant homes, this property offers a rare opportunity to enjoy historic character without sacrificing everyday comfort. From the original doorbell and laundry chute to the vintage hardware, decorative light switches and antique fixtures, countless details reflect the care and craftsmanship. Equal parts whimsical, functional and full of personality, this is a home that has been lovingly cared for and thoughtfully updated for its next chapter.
