$2.5 Million Home Features 6 Bedrooms, 4-Car Garage

This week's Patch WOW House is located on Buckingham Place in Brookfield...which is appropriate since it's pretty much a suburban palace.

From elegant and stately mansions to modern, environmentally-friendly abodes, the Milwaukee suburbs are chock-full of one-of-a-kind homes for sale.

Each week, in our new feature, Patch will highlight one "Wow House" that caught our attention.

This week, it's a 10,200-square-foot home with 18 rooms and a 4.5-car garage located on a 2.2-acre lot 2610 Buckingham Place in Brookfield.

Listed by Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage in Mequon, this "palace" includes six bedrooms, five full bathrooms and two half-bathrooms, a theater, an elevator, a wine-tasting room, a music room and in-mirror television.

The asking price is $2,550,000. If you put 20 percent down and have a 30-year mortgage, your monthly payments would be about $11,800 per month. Property taxes last year were about $27,000.

To schedule a showing, contact JoAnn Vetter at (262) 240-2611.

If you're a real estate agent and would like to have one of your home included in our free "Wow House" feature, send an email to milwaukee@patch.com.

I can tell the difference between skilled hard work and not. Most people paying for work to be done can too. Usually you get what you pay for. The owners can choose to be generous with honest hard working employees or not.
Bob McBride November 5, 2012 at 03:25 am
Because I'm in charge of everything. And, yes, everyone thinks I'm attractive.
Anything else?
Annie Nominous November 5, 2012 at 03:30 am
@ Jim Price - now you are trying to justify the innuendo of your original post. Did the Mrs. read it or something? Mixing classic columns...blah, blah, blah...nice try, though.
Annie Nominous November 5, 2012 at 03:35 am
Whoa, Bob...really? Everyone finds you attractive?
Annie Nominous November 5, 2012 at 03:36 am
Hey Bob...Are you sure your name isn't "Bob McPride?"
Bob McBride November 5, 2012 at 03:37 am
Yes, really, everyone finds me attractive. Absolutely everyone. It's a curse, really. You should be thankful you don't have that problem.
Anything else I can help you with?
Annie Nominous November 5, 2012 at 03:41 am
Bob McPride...now you are just getting obnoxious. You are too good for yourself.
Bob McBride November 5, 2012 at 03:44 am
I keep telling myself the same thing Annie, but what am I going to do? I'm stuck with me.
Annie Nominous November 5, 2012 at 03:44 am
I did check your profile, and I think you resemble Bill Murray...so take that as you wish. Goodnight, McPride.
Bob McBride November 5, 2012 at 03:46 am
Damn, you looked. You're a sharp one. Like a butter knife, you are. Nighty-nite.
Luke November 5, 2012 at 04:31 am
Randy, your "trickle" is even thinner than the guy who owns that house. Size matters, and the tax base is not satisfied with you, by comparison.
Steve ® November 5, 2012 at 04:51 am
Bren - when is the demo scheduled for your house and farm field contracted to be installed in its replacement?
sparky November 5, 2012 at 04:58 am
If I am going to spend that kind of money for a house I know one thing for sure, it will be on a lake up north with walleyes and muskies in the lake.
Whyis it up for sale? Lost their day care job?
Luke November 5, 2012 at 11:14 am
@Steve
Apparently she thinks farmland is worth 1 million per acre. She makes a lot of scents (peeyou).

Annie Nominous - wow, you really need to get some hobbies and interests. Looking over your comment history, you are on patch morning, noon, night, and middle of the night, and again in the morning. No one is taking you seriously. You are a troll. You are doing nothing but wasting your time on the site. Your are not changing any minds with with your unoriginal ideas and comments. Get out and do something with your life. Sorry you are so miserable.
Randy1949 November 5, 2012 at 03:23 pm
Is that so, Luke? Do you have a bigger one?
H.E. Pennypacker November 5, 2012 at 03:32 pm
Randall is quite ignorant of most matters that involve economics. We need more people like this building and owning homes this size. Randall, just because you live in filth and squalor doesn't mean we all should.
Annie Nominous November 5, 2012 at 03:51 pm
@ alt ideas needed - seriously? I work two jobs, run a household, and I type very fast. And I do have a hobby, which is reading whenever I have a free moment, including local and all other news. Your post is so typical of a liberal - full of hate, judgement, and resentment because you cannot support your arguments with facts. By the way, you have an extensive history of comments. I understand you are very stressed out about tomorrow's election.
Randy1949 November 5, 2012 at 03:52 pm
I don't know who this 'Randall' is, Pennypacker, but I know a lot more about property taxes than you might think. And I bet mine is bigger than YOURS too.
Randy1949 November 5, 2012 at 03:58 pm
@Bren -- Obviously farmland brings in much less tax revenue than a crown of McMansions built on half-acre lots. So there's a lot of pressure from municipalities like Brookfield to urge the farmers out to increase their tax base. It's short-sighted, because the new construction ends up costing them more in services than the farmland did. Sometimes i don't think the new property taxes make up for it. And once the green-space is gone, it's gone.
Steve ® November 5, 2012 at 08:13 pm
►Bren and Randy◄ I just checked back in from running a business all day, trickling down my created wealth and solving a lot of problems with third party technology.
I am surprised but have not been informed when you both plan on demolishing your homes and restoring them to farmland. I await your response and thank you in advance. Your determination to this is a credit to our entire organization. Best Regards- Steve ®
Steve ® November 5, 2012 at 08:15 pm
You should give more since you want to force everyone else to. Lead by example. Prove that higher tax rates work better than consumer spending.
Randy1949 November 5, 2012 at 08:24 pm
@Steve --So sorry to make you waste your valuable time a a job creator to come here to chide us.
How would you know where and how I live? Don't assume and make a fool of yourself.
Randy1949 November 5, 2012 at 08:29 pm
LOL -- I think mine is bigger than yours too, Steve, judging from your reaction.
Bren November 5, 2012 at 09:06 pm
Luke, I was referring to the land's value for food production specifically. I'll also add that construction increases ground temperature. So I'm female, eh? ; )
Steve, my lot isn't quite large enough to make a dent in the global food chain, sorry. And the house is historic. That's why I agree with Bob about the value of true architecture vs. ...this. If helpful, I did encourage my father to sell acreage to the DNR instead of the developer dogging his heels a few years back. It's part of a preserve now. As a traditional Republican, land conservation is very important to him. Also, I thought you "sold" your business. No? In that case, do you try to pressure your employees into voting GOP? Just curious.
Steve ® November 6, 2012 at 04:28 am
Either is this lot. Typical liberal hypocritical statement. Keep burning your food supply in your fuel too right?
Steve ® November 6, 2012 at 04:29 am
How much every year to you pay over and above?
Randy1949 November 6, 2012 at 01:28 pm
Same as you, Steve.
alt ideas needed November 7, 2012 at 03:38 am
Haha Annie. Everyone is so impressed that you work two part time jobs and you can clean your own house. Well done. Keep up the good work. Your shining personality brightens everyones day.
KKP November 17, 2012 at 06:20 pm
Wow...all I can say is if you can afford it and want it, God bless ya, go for it.
As for myself -- I think I'd get lost in there!!! But it is impressive...

Over the past several years, there have been several youth from throughout the world who haveRead More attended high school for one academic year in the Elmbrook School District through the Rotary youth exchange program. It is a tremendous opportunity for growth by the young adult, as well as the host family! If you have even the slightest bit of interest, I'd encourage you to contact Bill Petterson from the Elmbrook Rotary. It's a long-standing international program with many checks and balances so the experience is beneficial for all concerned.
Tom Pyne June 10, 2013 at 09:17 am
We hosted a high school girl from Thailand three years ago and we continue that friendship with herRead More and her family. Not only do you, as a host family give a young person from another country a better understanding of America and Americans, but you learn about the perspectives and viewpoints of people from a totally different culture. It opens up our world view. If you have never hosted, do it!
Walker celebrates after defeating the liberal unionista blue fisters
Walker June 10, 2013 at 10:13 am
I believe your first 4 words. After that your credibilty dramatically falls off. The only "beatRead More down" received was by the middle & low income class of Wisconsinites. "As governor, I will sign legislation to prohibit the members of the State Legislature from voting after 10:00 at night or before 9:00 in the morning. This commonsense reform ensures the public has the opportunity to contact elected representatives about their votes on any pending legislation important to them. I have two teenagers and I tell them that nothing good happens after midnight. That's even more true in politics. The people of Wisconsin deserve to know what their elected leaders are voting on." --Scott Walker
Steve ® June 10, 2013 at 10:54 am
Cry more. The temper tantrum never ends. I hear Illinois has a few hotel rooms you guys can bunkerRead More down in while you hold drum circles. Walker to sign low and middle class tax cuts. Oh what a beat down.
