Located at 1930 N Prospect Ave in Milwaukee's vibrant East Side neighborhood, this single-floor residence showcases classic architectural character throughout. Warm parquet hardwood flooring runs continuously across the living spaces, lending a timeless, inviting aesthetic to every room. The layout flows naturally from a functional kitchen equipped with white cabinetry, dark countertops, a gas range, refrigerator, and tile flooring under track lighting. An open pass-through with a charming white glass-door cabinet connects the kitchen to the main living area, which is bright and generously proportioned with a ceiling fan overhead. The living room opens through an arched doorway into a spacious second room, offering flexible use as a dining or sitting area. Both spaces benefit from natural light and are accented by classic wall panel molding and substantial crown molding details. The bedrooms are well-sized, each featuring parquet floors, ceiling fans, and vintage cast-iron radiators beneath double-hung windows. Closet space is ample, including a room with open built-in shelving along an entire wall. The bathroom retains its vintage charm with classic penny-tile flooring, full white subway tile surround, a tub-shower combination, pedestal-style sink, and a cast-iron radiator — a cohesive nod to the building's period character.

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.
