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. Yes, we lovingly restored her with new windows and preserved the iconic cream city brick, but we also fully remodeled every surface from floor to ceiling, from the new porcelain farmhouse sink and Thermador dishwasher to the Kohler tub and fixtures. 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, hardwood floors, a dishwasher, a private parking lot and in-building laundry. TWO ample sized bedrooms plus an open concept living room and kitchen. Or, for you legit Riverwesters, a kombucha brewery/tofu-ery and haberdashery workroom. 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.
