The Artist’s Perch - a private 2nd floor walk-up on dead-end overlooking a wooded ravine features modern, updated decor in a beautiful old house. Hardwood floors, screened porch, entry/workspace, kitchen/dinette, living room, bathroom w/clawfoot tub/shower, and bedroom with a cozy loft.
Close to downtown, library, nature center & recreational trail system. Situated 8.5 mi E of Appleton, 30 mi NE of Oshkosh, 30 mi SW of Green Bay (only 20 mi to Lambeau Field!), and 60 mi NW of Sheboygan/Kohler.
The space
The apartment is a second-level walk-up with a separate entrance/screened porch via an outside stairway. There is one bedroom with new queen-size bed, and a loft with skylight. A steep, built-in ships ladder is used to access the loft, which is furnished with two chairs & end table; it's a great space to relax with a book. In the library/workspace, there is a desk & chair, Bluetooth turntable & LPs, chairs, and plenty of space to store luggage out of the way. The kitchen/dinette & bathroom are stocked with essentials. The bathroom had a complete refresh in May 2026. The living room has a TV with ROKU, antenna, DVD player, and a small selection of DVDs for your entertainment.
Please note that in addition to the stairway to access the apartment, there are stairs/steps in a few locations within the apartment: a step down into the entry/workspace and to reach the bathroom from the living room, and a steep ladder to access the loft. The antique claw-foot tub/shower has tall sides and requires a step-up entry/step-down exit; it was resurfaced in 2026 & can be slippery, so please use the safety bars when entering/exiting the tub!
Guest access
All rooms in the apartment are accessible except for two locked closets.
Other things to note
The property is ideally located for a quick and easy drive to many other destinations in NE Wisconsin, including Appleton, Green Bay (Lambeau Field, Green Bay Packers Hall of Fame), Oshkosh (EAA AirVenture, EAA Aviation Museum), and Sheboygan/Kohler (John Michael Kohler Arts Center & The Preserve, Whistling Straits Golf Course, Kohler Design Center).
