POMPANO BEACH, Fla., May 6, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- "Exquisite Milwaukee Beer Mansion For Sale"

Milwaukee is known as the Beer Capital of the World, but the quality of the beer wasn't the only reason. Instead, its reputation was achieved through its proximity to beer-drinking Chicago, cheap lake-shipping transportation, and the aggressive business styles of its brewers. The success of the beer tycoons was apparent in the mansions built from their beer fortunes such as the Herman Uihlein House on Lake Michigan's Whitefish Bay, built in 1917 for the son of the president of Schlitz Brewery. Before the home was built, the property was the site of the Pabst (Beer) Whitefish Bay Resort with a restaurant, round beer bar with lake views, and a Ferris wheel. The mansion is now for sale at $6.95 million.

Where Real Estate Is Never Boring!

Post this

In 1849, Welsh settlers opened Milwaukee's first brewery and named it Milwaukee Brewery. A German competitor opened a second brewery and more followed. It became home to some of the country's largest brewers such as Pabst, Schlitz, Miller and Blatz. Schlitz became known as Milwaukee's namesake beer and was known as "The beer that made Milwaukee famous." It was advertised with the slogan "When you're out of Schlitz, you're out of beer."

The Herman Uihlein House was built on three acres on a low bluff at the edge of Lake Michigan - a couple miles north of Downtown Milwaukee; a combination of Italian Renaissance and Beaux Arts architectural styles. Placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983, the 13,717-square-foot, two-story house has nine bedrooms and eight baths. Many upgrades have been undertaken since 2018, including a new kitchen, new boiler, new air conditioning system, and elegant new surface materials. Rooms include public formal rooms, a library, billiards room, fitness center, home theater, staff quarters and wine cellar. There are also four fireplaces, a wet bar and underfloor heating. Floors are hardwood and marble.

The estate's landscape design is symmetrical in form and sits in the middle of the property with a long reflecting pool in the front. The rear landscaping focuses on the big Lake Michigan water views. There are terraced walkways and steps leading to the water's edge and more steps going into the water. The mansion is designed with entertaining in mind, whether intimate or hosting a large group. One of the home's owners in the 1990s was Warren Buffet's Emmy-award-winning son, Peter Buffet, who composed music for Kevin Costner's Dances with Wolves in a recording studio he had installed in the home.

Beer is still a big deal in Milwaukee with Miller Beer, now officially Molson Coors, employing about 1,500 cheeseheads and pumping out over 7 million barrels of beer a year. Although the city's other two big beer kingpins, Schlitz and Pabst, have left Milwaukee for L.A., both beers reigned at different times as America's most popular brand. The names are still seen everywhere in Milwaukee, including the popular Pabst Mansion Museum in Downtown Milwaukee and the Brewhouse Inn, which is now a boutique hotel located in the former Pabst brewery building - just west of Downtown. Not too far from Schlitz Park where the "The beer that made Milwaukee famous" was once made. And, of course, the Milwaukee Brewers MLB baseball team plays nearby at their field, formerly known as Miller Park.

The Herman Uihlein House, built for the son of the president of Schlitz Beer, is now on the market at $6.95 million. Listing agents are Peter Mahler and Paul Handle of Mahler Sotheby's International Realty, Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

"California's Historic Green Gables Is For Sale"

One of California's largest and most interesting estates, historic Green Gables in Silicon Valley is for sale. Built in 1911 on 74 acres and still in the original family, the property with its multiple homes and supporting buildings has come to market for the first time - priced at $135 million.

Money was no problem for one of the busiest and wealthiest families in California when it came to creating a big and comfortable summer estate. Mortimer Fleishhacker, Sr. owned a paper company, an electric company, and was one of the country's leading bankers. Documents show that the estate grew through close collaboration between Mortimer and architect/landscape architect Charles Sumner Greene of the famous architectural firm of Greene and Greene. It was a property of California firsts: first to have exterior walls of gunite, first to have a free-form swimming pool and the first to have a shingle roof that replicated the thatched roofs of England. The property grew over the years to include seven homes, extensive gardens, woodlands, and a Roman-style pool that is the size of a football field. The last home to be built on the property was completed in 1970.

In addition to views to the Santa Cruz Mountains, a park-like vista of oak trees and native grasses, and the interior styling of designer Elsie de Wolfe, one of the most outstanding features in the main house is the hand-carved furniture by the Greene brothers. Similar to Frank Lloyd Wright, the Greene brothers were well known for their design-and-artistic talent from architecture to landscape to furniture design. Highly detail oriented, the brothers focused on every detail of construction and the materials used and felt that even more utilitarian elements such as switch plates and walkways should achieve elegance.

Green Gables has hosted dignitaries from European royalty, U.S. senators, congressional representatives, governors, and business leaders. In 1965, the United Nations selected Green Gables as the site for its 20th-anniversary commemoration gala.

The historic Green Gables estate is listed by Christie's, San Francisco for the first time since it was built in 1911, still inhabited by the descendants of the original owners.
