House Hunt: The 5 Most Expensive Tosa Homes for Sale

Last week in House Hunt-Wauwatosa, Patch searched out all the multiple listings that could put you in a home here . There were, at the time, nine single-family homes and condos listed in the AOL Real Estate guide at the lowest end of the price scale.

We promised to next look at the highest-priced multiple-listing homes available in Wauwatosa (exclusive of any private listings, of course).

The plan was to set a similar benchmark, such as "Wauwatosa homes for sale for over $500,000." But there was only one, at 2350 Met to We Lane, although it's up there, at $749,000, with its backyard swimming pool and behind that, the wilds of the Menomonee River.

We reset at "over $400,000," and got only one more, at 8217 Brookside Pl., listed at $475,000 – reduced! – for this half-timbered hideaway with a parklike landscape in the Brookside subdivision.

Setting the mark at $300,000 opened things up enough that we decided to offer the five highest-priced homes in the multiple listings as of today.

Coming next after the two already mentioned is the well-known and admired baby-blue, gingerbready Victorian at 7006 Milwaukee Ave., going for $399,900 on its large and luciously landscaped corner lot.

Rounding out the five are a Washington Highlands home at $397,000 and one in Wellauer Heights, 6912 Grand Parkway, at $334,500.

Here, with their basic information and glowing listing descriptions, are the five highest-priced homes in current open listings. Clicking on the highlighted address will take you to the full AOL Real Estate listing.
