About this property

This mid century gem is located in Bay View, one of Milwaukee's most coveted neighborhoods. Built in 1960, this duplex is one the areas most unique & recognizable homes. Only minutes away from MKE airport & downtown, it is the perfect spot for visitors to retreat to after a day of exploring. The location offers easy parking & transit options, and is full of amenities to make your stay as comfortable as possible. This home truly is the perfect place to enjoy exploring Milwaukee to its fullest. We just added central air conditioning 6/1/2023

The space:

This home is a duplex. Both owners and guests share a front door, and once inside, there is a vestibule where both units are accessed. Rental unit is the west unit, and owners of property live in east unit. Only one small wall is shared, which keeps sound at bay, and there is no worrying about hearing footsteps. The owners do have two dogs, and they frequent the backyard area. However, guests will soley use front doors (except for emergency egress and laundry), and owners and dogs will use rear doors. Laundry facilities are located in basement. Separate washing machines are provided, but the dryer is a shared machine. Two bedrooms are located at the far west end of the home, both furnished with queen beds and large closets and windows. Central heat and air conditioning. Newer windows.

Guest access:

Guests will access home from front door only unless for laundry or emergency egress purposes. Owners who reside next door (plus 2 dogs) will use rear doors and are the only ones with access to the backyard. This is for everyones safety. Laundry facilities are in the basement, and available upon request for stays longer than 3 nights. The house manual gives more details on the facilities. Again, this is a duplex, so guests have access to the west unit which is a 2 bedroom / 1 bath unit, accessible through the front door and vestibule.

Other things to note:

Please see the house manual for all other household information, including house rules. Please note that by booking, you are stating that you have read and accept the house rules. We ask that you respect our home and neighbors, and if any violation of rules occur, we reserve the right to cancel the remainder of the reservation, immediately.

Perfect home base

I needed a place to stay during a stint of night shifts at ASLMC. This property was close enough to be an easy commute to the hospital and far enough away from heavily traveled roads to be quiet and relaxing. Parking and entry was very easy and the interior was clean and functional for my needs. An excellent spot to unwind after a busy day.

Charming MCM Home Close To Everything

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house was super clean and really thoughtfully designed and furnished. We loved the many MCM touches. The house was also conveniently located to all we wanted to do. It was a super quick drive to downtown Milwaukee, made for an easy day excursion to Madison, and the Bay View area itself was hip and happening! We would highly recommend this place to others.

Why they chose this property

We love the unique MCM design of the home, its so unique and honestly one of the most recognizable homes in the neighborhood. The ranch style also lends itself to added privacy and convenience as you're not lugging your stuff up stairs, or having folks walking around above you at night. Truly a relaxing, retro, retreat in the heart of one of Milwaukee's most coveted neighborhoods-Bay View, tons of fantastic restaurants, bars, and attractions nearby, very close to the airport, train and bus stations for ease of travel.
