Overview

Description

Character, warmth, and exceptional design come together in The Weilbacher Cottage, a beautifully renovated and expanded 1883 brick cottage in the heart of German Village. Thoughtfully transformed with a seamless addition, the home blends timeless charm with modern living across three finished levels. The original cottage now serves as a dramatic sun-filled great room featuring soaring lofted ceilings, massive wood beams, lap wood ceilings, a striking stone fireplace, and gorgeous wood floors throughout. Designed for both entertaining and everyday living, the home offers an expansive kitchen with an oversized island, beautifully connected living and dining spaces. Outdoor living is equally impressive, with inviting entertaining spaces and beautifully curated gardens that continue the home's long tradition of hospitality and charm. The private owner's suite offers a peaceful retreat with generous closet space, while the finished lower level with full bath and media room provides ideal guest or flexible living space. A first-floor bedroom and bath add additional versatility. Selected to be featured on the June 2026 German Village Haus und Garten Tour, this exceptional property is perfectly positioned just moments from Schiller Park, Schmidt's, The Old Mohawk, and beloved neighborhood destinations.
