From elegant and stately mansions to modern, environmentally friendly abodes, southeastern Wisconsin is chock-full of one-of-a-kind homes for sale. Each week, Patch highlights one "Wow House" that caught our attention.

This week, it's a home at 20270 W. North Ave. in Brookfield that is a nature-lover's paradise.

This 3,800-square-foot home is located on a 7-acre lot that includes 1,400 feet of frontage along the Fox River. There are huge windows throughout the house, so that there is a view of the surrounding nature conservancy from every room.

The house includes a two-story family room with a dramatic stone fireplace that opens to a cherry-and-granite kitchen with stainless steel appliances. The first-floor master bedroom opens to a deck. A second family room, with a gas fireplace, is located in the lower level. There is also a sunroom, a screened porch and a game room.

This five-bedroom, 4.5-bath Cape Cod home was built in 2000 and has an asking price of $849,900. It has been on the market for just under six months.

The home is being offered by Realty Executive - Integrity. To schedule a showing, call (262)783-7080.
