Waukesha – One of the most uniquely decorated condos on the market in Waukesha. The owner calls it his tree house. It also looks like a cross between a Dr. Seuss book and a Van Gogh painting. The owner, who is also an artist, took two and a half years to paint the house. As colorful and outrageous as the design is, the owner feels that it is still missing something.
“There were actually moments where I wasn’t sure I wasn’t doing enough,” Jeff Seymour said.
Seymour is an artist and real estate developer in Waukesha. He built the entire complex at 234 Brook St., and he built Apartment No. 3 in his private arts area.
“I created the kind of place you dream of when you are a kid or maybe you just get lucky when you are a kid. Cool tree house where your friends want to come over and have fun,” Seymour he said.
Now he is selling his condo for $399,900. It has three stories, two beds, two baths, one downstairs office/retail space, garage, two decks, and is approximately 2,100 square feet.

The condo is covered with floor-to-ceiling flowers. Seymour estimates that he used at least 70 different paint colors and 20 unique types of cabinets. There are mosaic tiled stairs leading up to a stained glass window and a raised bathroom overlooking the sky.
On the opposite side of the stained glass window is the same image. This is an image inspired by Adam and Eve. However, in Seymour’s rendition, Adam is reaching for two giant martini olives. This is the most talked about art piece in his condo. Why can you see for yourself.

Seymour knows this isn’t the easiest place to sell. However, he believes that with enough patience the right person will come along.
“I think it’s completely family-friendly, and is probably likely to attract younger professionals.”
The campus at 234 Brook St. has both condos and businesses. Seymour developed it because he wanted to make sure the city’s Waukesha had a place for artists to live. In fact, he has been living in the condo since 2006. Now he is moving on, as he feels it is time for someone else to enjoy the space he has created.
