Perc Place Restaurant It’s 7 p.m. on a beautiful Friday in August, and as sun begins to slowly retire from the Kettle Moraine hills, an enticing aroma of heavenly delicacies begins to rise from the brand new kitchen at Perc Place restaurant.

The bouquet of mouthwatering smells awakens the appetites of its enthusiastic guests. Some anticipate their dining experience by sipping their favorite libations from a sophisticated list of imported wines and crafted cocktails.

Others admire the dining room ambience neatly decorated with a mix of murals and industrial-chic décor.

Across the dining room area, an elegant handmade burlap curtain separates the entrance of a newly designed coffee house: a 3,200-square-foot space featuring a coffee bar artistically constructed using parts of an old barn roof and barn boards to accentuate the vintage and industrial atmosphere.

Recently relocated to 39 and 43A North Main Street in historic downtown Hartford, the restaurant has doubled its seating and staff size. Expanded hours include a dinner menu serving from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m., Thursday through

Saturday. The hours Monday through Wednesday remain the same, 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., and Sunday from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.

It’s certainly a new chapter in the life of the restaurant Cynthia Sieloff bought in the winter of 2002. “Our commitment to uncompromising customer service, healthy food, and community support is what keeps the business growing,” said the proud owner. “The items on our menu are made from scratch; we support our local farmers by using fresh organic eggs and organic produce when available,” she added.

The updated menu features a new line of appetizers, flatbreads, and a sophisticated dinner menu featuring items such as a Poulet Roti—an oven roasted airline chicken breast; a filet mignon served with herb compound butter and roasted fingerling potatoes; a coconut shrimp served with and orange chipotle dipping sauce. Perc Place even offers a Friday fish fry available from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. every Friday year-round.

making what’s old

new again

Finding the perfect balance between the character and artisanship found in an older home and the mechanical soundness of a modern build can be a challenge. It’s even harder to find that home in a desirable neighborhood. In some cases, like this one, it makes sense to find the home with the charm you desire and move it to the location that best suits your lifestyle.

Built well over 100 years ago, this stately up-to-date Victorian home now sits on an impressive 5-acre Mequon lot that features sensational hardscaping and landscaping. The original home was moved from Wauwatosa in the 1980s, and while keeping the original charm and character, it has been enlarged to more than three times its original size and updated giving it the feel of a newer home. High ceilings, large rooms, ample closets and wonderful detail are just a few of its many amenities.

Several recent additions include a spectacular gazebo room with walls of windows, heated floors and a gas fireplace as well as a fantastic master suite with sitting room, wet bar and spa bath. In all, the home boasts five bedrooms and four full baths.

The finished lower level includes an exercise room with daylight windows, a rec room and an office/craft room. The four-car attached garage offers plenty of storage space for your autos, toys and utility vehicles.
