About this home

Seventy-five feet on a protected Waubesa bay, a 1994 walk-out with three bedrooms up and the best price per foot of frontage in the listing book right now.

Lake Waubesa is the quiet one. It is smaller than Mendota, has no university crew traffic and sits fifteen minutes from downtown by way of Highway 51. This bay is on the northeast side, protected from the prevailing wind, and the water stays flat enough that the owners kept a rowing shell on the pier.

The house is a 1994 walk-out with a cathedral great room facing the water, three bedrooms on the main level and a finished lower level with a wet bar and a fourth non-conforming room currently used as a bunk room. Both baths were redone in 2020.

Fishing on Waubesa is genuinely good, which matters more to some buyers than any finish in the house. The bay holds panfish through the ice season, and the DNR launch is a mile south.
