This Lower East Side townhome delivers all the advantages of urban condominium living and many of the perks of living in a single family home. It’s eminently walkable, but decidedly private. Located on quiet N. Cass St., this residence is just a block from a park, school and grocery store, but situated in the middle of a block of classic Milwaukee houses.

Listed for $329,000, this 1,764 square-foot condo features a number of amply-sized rooms spread over three levels. The multiple-level unit is laid out to maximize sunlight, with the second level stepping back to open up the entire space.

The first level includes a large kitchen and dining area, living room, family room and deck. The family-room can be closed off via a set of French doors, while the dining area and living room can be easily configured into one very large room. The second level has a 13-by-11 ft. bedroom and a loft space, open to the first floor, perfect for use as a home office or den. The third level includes a 20-by-12 ft. master bedroom. Each level includes a bathroom, with the two upper levels having full bathrooms.

The third-floor master bedroom includes a gas fireplace, Whirlpool tub and his-and-hers sinks and vanities.

The two-unit Cass Manor (1527 N. Cass St.) development is split front-and-back, with the featured unit having all of the east facing views and direct access to Cass St. With the development being slightly taller than neighboring buildings, a great view of the neighborhood is available from the master bedroom on the third level.

Indoor parking is included in a private, first-floor garage that has space for two vehicles and space left over for storage.

Originally built in 1996, much of the unit has been updated in the past 10 years, including an expanded deck (2008), updated kitchen with granite counter-tops and high-end appliances (2011), new washer and dryer (2013), furnace (2013), water heater (2014) and roof (2008). The floors and carpeting were updated in 2015.

Area amenities include Cass Street Park, all of the shops and restaurants on E. Brady St. and the East Pointe Market Place retail center anchored by Pick ‘N’ Save. The lakefront and Oak Leaf Trail are just east down E. Ogden Ave. Jazz in the Park and other great summer events can be found at Cathedral Square Park located a short walk south. The rest of Downtown and beyond is easily accessible by a short drive, walk, bike, bus or taxi ride and come 2018 you’ll be able to ride the Milwaukee Streetcar from E. Ogden Ave. to much of downtown. In addition, a number of schools are within walking distance.
