Property Description

Known historically as the Knox-Kreutzer House, 504 Franklin Street is a remarkable Queen Anne Victorian home in the Andrew Warren Historic District with 5+ bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, over 4,000 square feet of finished space and a rare, detached carriage house with a heated, insulated 3-car garage with finished space above. Built in 1887 for lumberman Samuel Knox and his wife, Eliza, this historic Wausau home is recognized for its cupola, decorative gables, wraparound front porch, beautiful trim, and well-preserved character. From the moment you step onto the wide front porch, this home feels special. Inside, the grand foyer opens to hardwood floors, crown molding, stained glass windows, French doors, rich wood details, and rooms that tell a story without feeling stuck in the past. The main level offers generous and flexible living space. The large living room features hardwood floors and a fireplace, creating a warm and impressive gathering space. The main floor library lends a quiet, elegant room for work, reading, or relaxing. A bright sunroom, formal dining room, and spacious foyer add even more charm and function. The updated kitchen is a true standout. Designed with both beauty and use in mind, it features soapstone countertops, upgraded stainless steel appliances, generous cabinetry, pantry space, and is adjacent to a large dining room. It feels polished, practical, and perfectly suited to the character of the home. Upstairs, the home continues with five bedrooms, three full bathrooms, and two additional fireplaces. The primary bedroom includes a walk-in closet and private bath. Additional bedrooms offer generous closet space, while one upper-level bath has been updated with a whirlpool tub and Kohler fixtures. The full basement provides clean, usable space for storage, hobbies, or a workshop. Outside, the fenced yard, concrete driveway, and rare carriage house add another layer of function and opportunity. The detached carriage house includes a heated and insulated 3-car garage with finished square footage above, offering valuable bonus space for storage, studio space, hobbies, office use, or future possibilities subject to city approval. The property sits on 0.31 acres with city sewer, city water, natural gas hot water heat, in-floor radiant heat, wood and tile flooring, and a location close to downtown Wausau, parks, restaurants, coffee shops, and the YMCA. Beyond its beauty as a single-family residence, this property offers added flexibility through its City of Wausau MRL-12 zoning. This allows for uses beyond residential, including bed and breakfast, office, and multifamily. Buyers should verify any intended use, including bed and breakfast, guest lodging, short-term rental, or live/work plans, directly with the City of Wausau. Property is on historic register.
