Located in Milwaukee's vibrant East Town neighborhood, this single-floor unit at 1119 N Cass St blends classic architectural character with functional living spaces. Throughout the unit, polished terrazzo floors provide a timeless, durable foundation, complemented by bold dark wood trim and crown molding that frame each room with a sense of craftsmanship and period charm. The main living area is generously proportioned, featuring a ceiling fan with integrated lighting and a pair of wide, dark wood double doors that open to reveal a spacious built-in closet with a hanging rod — a nod to the unit's vintage design sensibility. Trim details and clean white walls create a bright, airy atmosphere while maintaining a classic aesthetic. An additional room, similarly appointed with terrazzo floors, dark wood trim, a ceiling fan, and its own closet access, offers flexible use as a bedroom or private space. The kitchen is compact and efficiently laid out, equipped with white cabinetry featuring traditional black hardware, a gas range, full-size refrigerator, and a utility sink — all set against matching terrazzo flooring that ties seamlessly into the rest of the unit. The bathroom showcases classic white hex tile flooring, full white subway tile surrounding the shower-tub combination, a pedestal sink, and a window that allows natural light to brighten the space, rounding out this characterful Milwaukee residence.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
