2402 EMERSON STREET, Wausau, WI 54403

Character, charm and a wonderfully walkable setting come together in this affordable Southeast Side bungalow. Perched on a corner lot with a welcoming front porch, this classic home sits within one of those established neighbourhoods where the streets themselves have a personality.

Sidewalks, boulevards, mature homes and close proximity to parks, the river and seasonal community events make this a location that's particularly easy to enjoy. Step inside and you'll immediately notice the character that comes with a home of this era.

Classic hardwood flooring leads into a cozy living room accented by warm wood details and original-style glass doorknobs found throughout. The formal dining room is equally inviting, with a sliding patio door opening to the side yard and a newly constructed wood deck, creating a natural spot for morning coffee, summer entertaining or an evening around the fire.

The kitchen strikes a particularly nice balance between old-house charm and sensible modern improvements. Updated cabinetry, newer windows and tiled flooring complement the classic character without making the space feel overly remodeled. Three bedrooms and a full bathroom are conveniently arranged on the main level.

The front-facing primary bedroom offers a step-in closet and wonderfully high ceilings, while the charming bathroom features a half-moon window, tiled flooring and tiled shower surround. Two additional bedrooms provide comfortable proportions and respectable closet space.

Downstairs, the finished family room with bar adds useful additional living space, while the remainder provides ample room for laundry, storage and all the things that inevitably accumulate over the years. An unfinished upper attic offers even more storage potential.

Notable updates include a new bathroom sink and toilet (2025), electric water heater (2025), dishwasher (2026), water service line to the property (2020), and newer roof, fascia and gutters. A proper old-fashioned neighborhood, a home with authentic character and a price point that makes sense. This is the sort of property worth seeing in person. Don't wait!
