According to the website Realtor.com®, the home is located in the Milwaukee suburb of Wauwatosa, Wisconsin and is currently up for sale.

The 3,525-square-foot, three-bedroom, three-bath property sits on just over an acre of land and is known as the Jenkins Austin Day Mansion.

Despite being the most expensive single-family home in town (second only to a five-bedroom, four-bath home priced at $849,900), the 19th-century estate attracted a buyer within days.

"We were hoping to find someone who liked the history and keep it," says listing agent Donna Duesing of Duesing Realty."

The most important thing for this family is to make sure the history is preserved in its original form. They are very excited.

The stately Victorian was built for Fisk Holbrook Day, who came from New York and purchased the property for $425.

"He was the only doctor in town," Dussin said.

He also built a cottage here for his parents.

The home is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It features moulded trim, pocket doors, high ceilings, original oak and walnut floors and a grand staircase. The brick on the exterior of the home is from the local Cream City and was restored by past owners.

The master suite is luxurious with a walk-in wardrobe, dual sinks and soaking tub.

The previous owners, who managed the home for 26 years, are largely responsible for its current impeccable condition.

Duesing says, "They were the ones who brought the house back from the dead. It was literally falling apart."

In 1997, they sold it for $425,000 to the current owners.

The restoration took two years and included replicating the original front porch. The property boasts two covered porches and three patios.

The current owners also added an attached garage, a "glass access" three-season room and front and rear patios.

Duesing said they worked tirelessly with the design team, the architect and the historical society to finally get (the glass walkway) just right.

Renowned performance artist Liberace, a Wisconsin native, reportedly eyed the property in the 1970s.

He wanted to turn it into a museum, but the community was against him," Duesing says. While the house is turnkey and thoughtfully preserved, "you can renovate the attic if you want, it's incredible."

As well as the historic pedigree, the property's garage and land area are other selling points.

There's no bigger lot in 'Tosa,' says Dussin. It gives the feeling of an estate. You look out of every window and it's green.

What makes the area especially appealing is that it's walkable to the nearby village and the 55-acre Menomonee River Parkway.

"This is my 11th year in real estate, and I think it was about eight years ago that 'Tosa' started to get hot, and it's been [going] strong ever since," Duesing says.
