Former Milwaukee County Executive Chris Abele appears to have officially lost interest in the site of a former Shorewood mansion he tore down against the wishes of people wanting it preserved.
In 2019, Abele razed his $2.6 million Shorewood mansion just days after receiving permission from the village . A petition to spare it from demolition garnered more than 1,000 signatures at the time.
The nearly 10,000-square-foot mansion, built in 1927, had been known as the Charles and Laura Albright House. At the time, Abele said he wanted to construct a new mansion that respected and honored its original design.
Last week, the Journal Sentinel reported that the property located at 3534 N. Lake Drive showed no sign of construction and Abele had recently received approval from Milwaukee’s historic preservation commission to renovate a different house in the city.
Now, the 2.52 acre lot where the Albright mansion used to sit, overlooking Lake Michigan, is listed for $2.6 million on real estate websites, including Zillow and Realtor.com .
The property description on Zillow and Realtor.com states the following, “Lake Drive Awaits! Opportunities like this do not come along very often.”
“This unique Lake Drive lot presents an opportunity for one lucky buyer to build their dream home…Now is the time to live out your dreams… Don’t hesitate, make it yours now!”
