Just Sold in Wauwatosa: A Thoughtfully Updated Ranch in an Ideal Tosa Location Some homes reflect years of quiet care, and the recently sold property at 419 N Hine Ave in Waukesha was exactly that. Tucked onto a peaceful, tree-lined street, this classic ranch offered thoughtful updates, strong fundamentals, and a location surrounded by parks, schools, and everyday conveniences. It was the type of home that resonated quickly with buyers who appreciate quality, comfort, and long-term value.
A Neighborhood Rooted in Community
Located in a highly desirable pocket of Waukesha, this home sits within the Waukesha North school boundary and just steps from local parks, neighborhood sidewalks, and amenities that make day-to-day life easier. The quiet feel of Hine Avenue, paired with quick access to shopping, restaurants, and major roadways, gives residents the best of both worlds — a relaxed residential setting with all the essentials close at hand.
It’s the kind of location Dan Kallas often highlights to clients seeking neighborhoods with enduring appeal and strong resale value.
A Ranch Designed for Practical, Comfortable Living
Built in 1962 and cared for meticulously, this home offered:
Three main-level bedrooms
A clean, refreshed full bathroom
A bright living room with great flow
A spacious eat-in kitchen
A full basement with a partially finished rec room
A large laundry space with room for storage or workspace
With approximately 1,000 sq. ft. above grade and 300 finished sq. ft. below, the layout offered ease of living without sacrificing functionality. The home’s aluminum siding, updated bath, and well-kept mechanicals provided low-maintenance peace of mind — something that mattered deeply to the long-time owner who had spent his career working in maintenance.
Outdoor Space With Extra Value
The exterior of the home added even more appeal. The fully fenced yard created a comfortable and private outdoor space, ideal for pets, play, or gardening. A 2.5-car garage—equipped with both 110 and 220 power—provided room for tools, vehicles, and hobbies alike. A concrete-pad storage shed offered bonus utility, while the yard’s mature trees added an inviting sense of privacy and calm.
Details like the interior hard-wired garage door button showed the thoughtful, practical touches the seller incorporated over the years. These small conveniences often go unnoticed at first glance, but they speak volumes about the care put into the home.
Strong Interest and a Quick Sale
Homes maintained this well — especially in such a desirable Waukesha location — tend to attract immediate attention. This one was no exception. The property went pending the very same day it was listed and ultimately sold for $296,000, above the asking price.
Throughout the process, Dan Kallas, representing the buyer, provided steady guidance — helping his clients understand the home’s long-term value, mechanical strengths, and the lifestyle perks of the surrounding area. In fast-moving situations like this, thoughtful representation makes all the difference.
A Wonderful Example of Waukesha Quality
Though this property is now sold, it reflects what so many buyers love about Waukesha: well-built homes, quiet streets, and neighborhoods filled with pride of ownership. Opportunities like this — especially those cared for with such consistency — tend to move quickly, and this sale was another clear example.
