$499k well spent 😌 Affordable new construction homes like this one are still available in the area. My favorite features are definitely the open railing, basement garage access, and 1st floor laundry! Listed by Tina Bunker CBREG

Northeast Wisconsin homeowners - we're facing dangerous cold with temps dropping to -19°F and wind chills as low as -40°F. Here's how to protect your home:

💧 PREVENT FROZEN PIPES:
• Let faucets drip slightly (especially exterior walls)
• Open cabinet doors under sinks
• Keep your thermostat consistent - don't lower it at night
• Close garage doors to protect pipes

🏠 PROTECT YOUR HOME:
• Clear snow from furnace vents and gas meters
• Replace furnace filters
• Check weatherstripping on doors and windows
• Know where your main water shut-off valve is located

⚠️ SAFETY FIRST:
• Never use your oven to heat your home
• Test smoke & carbon monoxide detectors
• Keep space heaters away from flammable items
• Check on elderly neighbors

🔍 WARNING SIGNS:
Watch for reduced water pressure (pipes may be freezing) or unusual furnace sounds.

This applies to ALL homes - new and old! Stay warm and stay safe.

Thinking about buying a historic home? Here’s what you should know:

- What counts as “historic”?
Typically, homes over 50 years old that maintain original character—often listed on the National Register or in local historic districts—with rules on sensitive updates.

- Renovation rules apply:
Exterior changes (like windows, paint, additions, or solar panels) often require historic board approvals—research early in the process.

- Be inspection-savvy:
Check for old wiring, plumbing, insulation, lead paint, asbestos, and foundation issues. Consider an inspector experienced with historic homes.

- Upgrades need care:
You can modernize interior systems (HVAC, lighting) but exterior modifications may require approval and specialty materials or contractors—costs can add up.

- Financial perks:
You may qualify for tax credits, grants, or low-interest loans at the federal, state, or local level—especially if listed on the National Register.

- Ongoing maintenance matters:
Historic homes need regular upkeep with period-appropriate materials—like wood siding or slate roofs—and keeping detailed records supports compliance and resale.

✨ Buying a piece of history? Work with a knowledgeable agent to navigate inspections, permits, and incentives—so you can preserve the charm and protect your investment.
