Your New Home Sweet Home Awaits You Today!

Don't want to take my word for it???
​Check out a personal letter of love from the sellers of this wonderful home full of memories below...


"​We really were the “village” before it even became popular"


A Letter from the Sellers

Welcome Home to 816 Magnolia Drive
This house that has been a HOME to my family for over 32 years. A home filled with love, laughter, celebrations, family, friends and too many memories to count.

Magnolia Drive is a welcoming neighborhood that has become family to me. The house is surrounded by the best neighbors anyone could ask for. Always ready to help out with yard work, shoveling snow, grass cutting, a cup of sugar or looking outfor my daughters.

We really were the “village” before it even became popular.


My Dad’s hands, he was a carpenter, have touched the house in many special ways. Cabinets in the laundry room, chairails in the bedrooms and the custom shelf in the kitchen are among a few. He was there every time something needed to be taken care of. My parents also bought a Magnolia tree the week we moved in that you can see from the sliding door in the kitchen.
​

The Waukesha School District has provided both of my daughters with not only a great education but offered them many opportunities other districts don’t. They marched in the Rose Bowl and Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parades. They volunteered in countless ways through school clubs and were accepted to great colleges with a diploma from Waukesha North High School. I only have wonderful things to say about Hawthorne Elementary, which is walking distance from the house, and Butler Middle School also.

The backyard extends up the slope behind the shed. It is an easement that means no one can build on the land. This has been a real plus for the neighborhood kids when they wanted to play ball, sled etc. It also means that you have no houses directly behind you which provides added privacy. It has been a real plus to have a never-ending backyard. 

My hope is that whoever purchases this house will have as much enjoyment in it as we have. May you have many summer dinners outside on the deck, laughter on the hill in the winter sledding, fun raking and jumping in the beautiful fall leaves and joy in the spring when you watch the Magnolia tree bloom.

It is with tears in my eyes that I leave 816 Magnolia Drive. Sad tears because a beautiful chapter is my life closes and happy tears for the person/family that gets to make so many new and wonderful memories here. 

Wishing you a lifetime full of only good times in this HOME,
​

The Sipola Family

Click Below For All the amazing features and updates
Drain tiles and reinforcements were added 


Fenced in yard and added small patio area 


Air conditioner installed 


New hot water heater was installed 


Refinished the floors and stairs


Bathroom:  Added new updates, new toilet and a whirlpool tub.  This is a great way to relax!  Note that the plumbing was updated all the way down to the basement.


New utility sink in the laundry area


New windows installed.


Basement bathroom:  This was added as part of finishing the basement.  The colors may not appeal to you, but the bathroom is done and replacing a toilet and sink is a very minor expense if you have other preferences.
When the basement was finished, I added an emergency sump pump just to be safe.  This is another added feature that will provide you security.  However, note there has never been water in the basement.  The emergency sump has never turned on.  But peace of mind is priceless! 


Basement:  This was professionally put in by Owens Corning.  Look this up and read about all the features.  There are mold resistant and sound barrier blocks that go against the basement wall, providing a dry, comfortable space.  There is a warranty on this as well.  Yes, there are a couple of low spots, but you get used to it.  My son is over 6’ tall and had no problems.  


Professional landscaping


Sunroom:  I’m sure you have noticed the beautiful sunroom.  This was professionally put in by Bear Builders.  There is a great transferable warranty.  Note that the windows in the sunroom open from side to side and the screens roll up.


New roof and siding installed.


Added a new railing in the loft area 


Painted the house


Added new carpeting in the upstairs bedrooms​
