Priced at $461,000, this historic Queen Anne home, built in 1900, is a true gem located at 517 Madison St, Waukesha, WI 53188. With a captivating story behind it, this asymmetrical beauty was originally designed for Civil War Captain Elihu Enos and boasts an award-winning restoration.
Spread across 2,839 square feet, the home features 5 bedrooms, 1.5 baths, and sits on a charming 0.30-acre lot.
