Entire Home, Historic District, Kid & Pet Friendly

Newly renovated with historic charm, this private entire home is located in the heart of downtown historic Greendale and was designed to mirror the times in which it was built, an early mid century innovative urban garden community home, walking distance to shops and restaurants. The large backyard is fully enclosed with an adorable picket fence and ready for your children and furry friends to play. All less than 15 minutes to airport and downtown MKE. Built circa 1936, as part of FDR's New Deal, this Greendale Original has most of its original character, with newly refinished hard wood floors on the second floor. The owner's mother was one of the first inhabitants of Greendale and she too was born and raised in the community and appreciates the historical value and wonderful charm of this community. The family who owns the property is also co-owners of the Field Workshop in downtown Greendale. They purchased the property in part to allows others to share the nostalgia of the community. Greendale, Wisconsin had its beginnings in 1936, and officially opened in 1938, when the United States Department of Agriculture began construction of three new communities known as the Greenbelt towns as a demonstration project or suburban community planning combining the benefits of city and country life, for moderate income families, employing thousands during it’s construction. In addition to Greendale, Wisconsin, the other two towns are Greenbelt, Maryland and Greenhills, Ohio. “Garden Cities of Tomorrow (Ebenezer Howard)” Architects Clarence Stein (Colonial Revival & Art Deco) and Landscape Architect Henry Wright. Blocky international style homes. When Greendale was built it was an innovative community of the future. The interior design of this home has some updates but is really a throw back to the era it was built and the interior space was curated intentionally to make you feel a part of the era in which it was created and gleans inspiration from the mid-century modern era of Bauhaus, Art Deco, Alonso Hauser, Frank Lloyd Wright and Clarence Stein. Guest will have access to the entire property.
