About this property
Riverwest Vintage Upper Apartment
This 2 BR duplex upper flat is located in Milwaukee's Riverwest neighborhood, and also features an office with a futon for additional sleeping and work space.
Centrally located just 2 miles north of downtown Milwaukee, this neighborhood is often called the "Brooklyn of Milwaukee". The residents of this neighborhood range from students to professionals. It has a particularly vibrant arts and music scene, and is sought after for its proximity to UW Milwaukee, the Milwaukee River, and downtown. This unit was completely renovated recently, including a completely remodeled kitchen and bathroom, and contains many vintage furnishings.
There is a private front entrance for this unit, and there is a garage space and one off-street surface parking space available for your use during your stay. There is also ample street parking available in front of this property. This apartment has a completely open concept layout, the kitchen features granite counter tops and stainless steel appliances, there is a dining area that seats up to 6 people, and there is a large screen TV in the living room. Both bedrooms have queen sized beds. Enjoy cable and WiFi during your stay, or use the vintage stereo to stream music. There is a basement laundry room with free access to a washer and dryer. Spend some time on the private balcony, that is furnished with vintage patio furniture, if weather permits. Although completely updated, this is a two family property that was built at the turn of the twentieth century & the sound barrier is not perfect. You may be able to hear the people or pets in the lower unit or in neighboring properties from time to time, and they may be able to hear you. Thanks for being courteous to the neighbors!
Riverwest is diverse, features great coffee shops, restaurants, bars, public transportation, parks, the Milwaukee River Greenway - all within walking distance or a short drive.
This property location is:
* 8 blocks from the Brady St. entertainment district
* 1 mile from the Oriental Theater - home of the Milwaukee Film Festival - and other entertainment options on the East Side.
* 2 miles from downtown Milwaukee and Fiserv Forum
* 1.5 miles (6 min by car) from the University of WI - Milwaukee
* 1.5 miles from Lake Michigan
The kitchen has all you need to cook, and grocery shopping is 3 blocks away.
Guest access
You will have access to the upper apartment in a 2 unit building, laundry room in basement, private balcony and 1 parking space in the garage.
Guest interaction
There is a lock box for easy access upon your arrival. There will be an information booklet giving you some additional information to navigate the neighborhood, but I am available at any time to help with logistics and to make your stay an easy one.
Getting around
This property is just 1.5 miles from I43. Located right on the #14 bus line which makes it a short, easy trip by public transport to downtown. And of course there is ample access for various ride sharing services.
