Schuster Mansion Bed and Breakfast

Milwaukee, WI Offered for sale at $1,956,000

The Schuster Mansion is a rare offering and one of the few remaining stately homes to grace Milwaukee's near west side. Built in 1891 by George J. Schuster, a wealthy tobacco industrialist and designed by the prominent architectural firm of Crane and Barkhausen, this historic gem exhibits stunning and unique elements of the German Renaissance Revival style. Standing three stories high, constructed of red sandstone, red brick, and rich terra cotta accents, the mansion’s commanding presence speaks to the grandeur of days past. Known as “The Wells Street Red Castle”, no two elevations are alike, and the roof line is picturesque against the skyline with conical turrets, gables, and towering ornamental chimneys. The interior of this manor exhibits superior craftsmanship, ornate details and has been lovingly cared for and thoughtfully restored by the current owners. The enchanting first floor is graced by a Ladies’ Parlor, Formal Dining Room, Library, and sunlit Solarium. The main floor of the mansion is loved by guests, and an ideal space for hosting teas, private parties and more. The Gentlemen’s Parlor hosts the Gift Shop, a wonderful source of additional revenue for the B&B. Three suites with private parlors and ensuite baths, an elegant single guest suite and the Innkeeper’s Private Studio complete the second floor. The studio is ideal for an office, sewing, crafting, storage, or additional sitting room for your guests. The third-floor hosts two rooms with a full bathroom as well as housekeeping amenities and the Innkeeper’s Quarters. A turnkey business with mansion furnishings, fixtures and equipment included, and unlimited possibilities for additional revenue. A spacious outdoor venue includes a Victorian Garden, complete with a waterfall, pergolas, and plenty of space to enjoy high tea outdoors. The mansion has earned a place on the National and State Register of Historic Places and is designated locally as a historic property.
