If your eyes widened a month ago when a price tag of more than $2 million was put on a Wauwatosa home for the first time, prepare to widen those eyes a bit more. A second $2 million home hit the market this week, even more expensive than the one before.
The newly listed home is located at 1839 N. 74th St. on a corner lot just north of Wauwatosa East High School. With six bedrooms, five and a half bathrooms and 3,780 sq. ft. of living space, the home is listed for $2,250,000, a new record for single-family homes in Wauwatosa.
The previous record-holder is still on the market after nearly month. That home at 1651 Alta Vista Drive, on a prominent hill in the Washington Highlands neighborhood, was listed for $2,150,000 and features six bedrooms, five bathrooms and 5,500 sq. ft. of living space.
Both of these listings would have been nearly unthinkable a few years ago. Wauwatosa had never had a $1 million home until 2023, let alone a $2 million home. Since then, with the Tosa real estate market on the upswing in recent years, more than two dozen single-family homes in the city have sold for $1 million or more. It may be safe to assume that more are on the horizon.
