MILWAUKEE — The most expensive condo in all of Wisconsin is on the market for $3 million. It’s located on the 30th floor of Kilbourn Tower in Milwaukee.
There are no condos listed on any other major realty website listed for more.
“Currently the price reflects just how special this unit is,” Richard Ruvin, the listing agent and lead partner with Falk Ruvin Gallagher Real Estate, said. The firm represents some of the most expensive homes in the Milwaukee area.
The condo is 6,000+ square feet, 2 bedrooms, and 5 bathrooms. Ruvin said the future owner could chance a space to make it into a 3rd bedroom. There are two fireplaces and a sunrise and sunset terrace.

There are two main showstopping elements of the condo that make this such a unique property. First are the views. You are 30 stories up which means there is practically nothing impeding your view. On three sides of the condo are floor-to-ceiling windows that show off downtown Milwaukee, Lake Michigan, the waterfront, and you can see Holy Hill.
“I bought this as a raw space and the views are the reason that I bought it,” Peg Ann the owner said.

While the views are stunning, the art inside is just as magnificent. The condo is an eclectic mix of paintings, prints, and sculptures. While all the art is very different, there is one main theme that connects them all.
“Color, because I did this a few years back before color was being shown,” Ann said.
This is not a minimalistic and subdued home. The condo explodes with greens, pinks, blues, and every other color of the rainbow.

Sure, it’s a little crazy, but for Peg, it’s a good kind of crazy.
“I love that word. If somebody says this lady is crazy, they understand art. Because crazy is an emotion. The worst thing is when someone comes up here and doesn’t have a comment. It’s like how could you not?”
Peg said that a majority of the art and furnishings can stay for a negotiated price on top of what it’s already listed for. She hopes the future owners use the space for fundraisers like she did.

“My wish would be somebody else that would serve the community because it’s made for that. It’s made for entertaining. I’ve had thousands of people up here.”
She is selling the house because she is ready to move on from it’s she slows down in life.
“I’m 70 years old. and I don’t want my executives to have to go through selling five different properties that I have with all of (the art) because it eats up the funds that I’m leaving to just charities. Everything I’m donating to charities.”
Despite the high price tag, the condo is getting attention.
“So, we don’t have an offer in hand, but we have significant interest,” Richard Ruvin said.

He went out to get a new lock for his 250-pound historic sign and when he got back, it was gone.
MILWAUKEE – He went out to get a new lock for his 250-pound historic sign and when he got back, it was gone.
Todd Brown is spending his Independence Day focused on getting his property back.
“It’s 24 hours of stress. I don’t want that, I should enjoy my 4th,” Brown said. “It’s not something you see every day.”
He collects, restores and sells vintage relics. He specializes in beer signs, like this 250-pound, 5-and-a-half-foot tall, classic 1964 Schlitz lantern sign.

“We were the largest in the world at one time,” Brown said. “We had 6,000 signs in stock.”
But now, he’s experiencing something he hasn’t seen in his 30 years of business. That Schlitz beer sign was stolen in broad daylight, and it was all captured on video.
“At first we thought it was just scrappers, but the way they did it and rushed in, they knew it wasn’t right,” he said. “They knew it wasn’t right and God’s watching them, so turn yourself in.”
This all happened while Brown was on his way to get a large lock to secure the sign. He had just received it on Sunday.

Presidential debate 2024: Both Biden and Trump had issues
President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump clashed in the presidential debate. Here is what happened.
WASHINGTON – President Joe Biden in a Milwaukee radio interview on Wednesday said he “screwed up” during the debate with former President Donald Trump last week — marking some of the first public comments from the president since the event.
“I had a bad night,” Biden told Milwaukee radio host Earl Ingram in a pre-recorded interview set to air Thursday morning. “And the fact of the matter is that I screwed up. I made a mistake. That’s 90 minutes onstage, look at what I’ve done in 3.5 years.”
The comments, made during an interview with Ingram Wednesday, are among the first from the president following a shaky debate performance that highlighted questions about Biden’s age and led some Democrats to call to replace him at the top of the ticket. Biden has said he plans to stay in the race.
About one minute of select clips from Biden’s interview was provided to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. Ingram, a longtime Biden supporter, told the Journal Sentinel he spoke with the president for 20 minutes. The full interview will air 8 a.m. Thursday on WAUK-AM(540).
During the interview, Biden also touted his efforts to engage minority communities and noted his work appointing Black judges, according to the short clips.
“I picked a Black woman to be my vice president. I’ve appointed the first Black woman to be a Supreme Court justice,” Biden said. “I’ve appointed more Black judges, more Black women judges, than every other president in American history combined.”
He attacked Trump for recent comments the presumptive Republican nominee made about Black workers.
“I’m sorry to get so worked up,” Biden said. “But he is just — he’s terrible things in the community, and he has about as much interest and concern for Black, minority communities as the man on the moon does.”
Biden is set to visit Madison Friday.
The interview was recorded the same day Biden met with 24 Democratic governors from across the country as he sought to tamp down concerns from within the party about his place at the top of the ticket. Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers was the only Democratic governor to miss the meeting.
“(Evers) didn’t attend the meeting because he’s focused on moving forward and winning Wisconsin,” Evers spokeswoman Britt Cudaback wrote on X. “He supports President Biden – his comments in support of the president over the last week speak for themselves, and he looks forward to campaigning with the President on Friday.”
Several governors after the meeting indicated they remained behind Biden.
“He has had out backs through COVID, through all of the recovery, all of the things that have happened,” Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz told reporters. “The governors have his back.”
“A path to victory in November is the No. 1 priority,” Walz added. “And that’s the No. 1 priority of the president. So that’s what we’re trying to get done.”
Milwaukee is set to host the Republican National Convention starting July 15.
