A 1928 brick house in the Washington Avenue Historic District on 0.2 acres

This four-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath house is on a wide, tree-lined street and just steps from Lake Winnebago, a popular fishing spot where the catch includes walleye, bass and perch. Menominee Park, which has pickleball and tennis courts, a playground, a seasonal zoo and a waterfront walking trail, is a few minutes away, as is the campus of the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh. The Experimental Aircraft Association Aviation Museum is 15 minutes away, as is the E.A.A.’s Seaplane Base on Lake Winnebago.

The city of Oshkosh, with some 68,000 residents, sits on the western shore of Lake Winnebago, about 50 miles southwest of Green Bay, Wis. Milwaukee is about 90 minutes away, as is Madison. Chicago is three hours south.

Indoors: From the screened-in front porch, a door with leaded glass paneling opens to the foyer. Through an arched doorway is the living room, filled with light thanks to four arched windows that overlook the front yard. The fireplace surround and mantel, both original, are painted black. Hardwood floors continue into the formal dining room, which has picture frame molding along the walls and a chandelier.

A swinging door separates the dining room from the updated kitchen, which has butcher block counters and cabinets painted bright blue. The appliances, including a range with a gas cooktop, are stainless steel, and the breakfast nook is brightened by windows with original wood frames. A powder room with wood-paneled walls and leaf-print wallpaper is nearby.

All four bedrooms are on the second floor. The primary bedroom has a burgundy accent wall and another wall lined with custom-made wood cabinets. The en suite bathroom has an ornate mirror above the vanity and a walk-in shower. An adjacent guest bedroom has two large closets and an alcove currently used as a workout space. Two more bedrooms are large enough for queen-size beds. All three guest rooms share a bathroom off the main hall, with a double vanity and a combined tub and shower. The basement holds a side-by-side washer and dryer.

Outdoor space: A paved patio behind the house — currently home to a grill, an outdoor dining setup and a hot tub — is adjacent to a grassy backyard shaded by mature trees. A wood fence encloses the yard, and the detached garage has two parking spots.
