This spectacular, Italian Renaissance-style estate is in one of the most desirable communities near Milwaukee. Built in 1919, meticulously maintained, the current owners have made significant renovations during their ownership building upon a full restoration in the 1990's when the home was completely restored to include modern systems and luxurious refinements. This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to own a home that has hosted former presidents, CEOs, entertainment figures and other prestigious guests. Featuring a chef's kitchen, wood paneled dining room, theater, wine cellar, billiard room, terraces, formal gardens, fountain and views of Lake Michigan.
