From elegant and stately mansions to modern, environmentally friendly abodes, southeastern Wisconsin is chock-full of one-of-a-kind homes for sale. Each week, Patch highlights one "Wow House" that caught our attention.
This week, it's a home on Highland Preserve Court in the Town of Lisbon in Waukesha County.
This custom-designed, exposed ranch home is 7,820 square feet and backs up to a 140-acre preserve for views of a pond and wooded privacy.
It features a dramatic atrium with a 28-foot-tall ceiling and stately pillars. The home also has rosewood, bamboo, Travertine and marble floors that are heated for comfort.
This five-bedroom, five-bath home also includes a theater room, a family room, and excercise room and a large game room with custom wet bar.
Built in 2004, the asking price for this home is $847,500. It's being offered by Realtor Victoria Hren at RE/Max Realty 100. To schedule a showing, contact Hren at (262) 250-8136.

I'm not sure if Patch gets a commission percentage on the sale for advertising this, but it is really not fair to call this an $847k house because it is listed at that price. As for the square footage, it is certainly nice and finished well, but just because someone asks a price based on a realtors suggestion, certainly does not mean it is worth close to that much. Realtors need to do a better job informing their clients of realistic prices and sale expectations.
Prices per square foot makes it less expensive to own a home than pay rent on an equal sized space- even including taxes.
