Why are people obsessed with big cities like New York? Sure, "New York New York!" sounds better than "Milwaukee Milwaukee but we love this city for its peculiarities, not in spite of them. We don't move to NYC just cause we couldn't spell Milwaukee til 3rd grade. We roll up our sleeves, get ridiculed by classmates and make do with what we got! Which is illiteracy in some cases. You could say the same about this historic cream city brick apartment in the heart of Riverwest. Lovingly restored with new windows, a remodeled bathroom and kitchen while still keeping some good ole RW charm like textured plaster walls and rich hardwood floors. It might be the box of expired Twinkies I've been eating, but I feel the Riverwest history in these walls. You'll feel transported to another time when life was simpler and these Twinkies didn't cause hallucinations. Maybe I'm just smitten because she actually has a name The Charlette. Certainly you'll be smitten that she has FREE heat, a private parking lot and in-building laundry. Though technically a one bedroom, it's extremely large, offering a gracious living room and formal dining room. Or, for you legit Riverwesters, a garden meditation sanctum and haberdashery workroom. And when you need a break from crafting bespoke buttons, hop outside to find you're on the corner of Center and Humboldt. So many iconic Riverwest shops, bars and restaurants within walking distance! Take that, New York. I really dig the new Fuel Cafe, though I wonder if all those yellow walls have triggered my childhood nightmares of Big Bird to return. I'll ask my psychiatrist/bartender down the block at Foundation Tiki Bar. Hey, you should schedule a showing at The Charlette, grab a hazelnut oatmilk latte at Daily Bird Cafe and let me know if you have any Big Bird-related nightmares. Plus, every 5th person to book a showing gets a free expired Twinkie.
