The Full Floor Vintage 3-Bedroom: 2043 N. Mohawk in Lincoln ParkA lot of the 3-bedroom units we see in Lincoln Park and Lakeview are new construction or duplex downs so it’s somewhat unusual to see a 3-bedroom vintage unit all on one level like this one at 2043 N. Mohawk. It not only has 3 bedrooms but also a family room and a dining room. The unit has high ceilings and built-ins along with original exposed wood moldings. The listing says the kitchen has been renovated and it has stainless steel appliances. It also has a back deck. There is a washer/dryer in the unit and 1 parking space is included. The only thing it seems to be missing is central air- as it has window units. The unit has been reduced by $19,100 since September. It’s also priced $33,000 under the 2007 purchase price. Harry Pfaff at Prudential Rubloff has the listing. See the pictures and a virtual tour here. See the property website here. Unit #2N: 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, 1 parking space, no square footage listed
Waiting For a Buyer For This Sprawling 4-Bedroom Vintage Condo: 411 W. Briar in LakeviewWe last chattered about this huge 4-bedroom top floor vintage unit at 411 W. Briar in East Lakeview in August 2009.
See our prior chatter and pictures here. It is still on the market and has been reduced by $40,100. It is now also $40,100 under the 2006 purchase price. The building was built in 1920. The unit has good vintage bones, including hardwood floors throughout, a dining room and a sunroom. It has central air and an in-unit washer/dryer but parking is leased. The notes for this weekend’s open house says it is wonderful space that needs some TLC.
Claire Sylvestre at Prudential Rubloff still has the listing. See more pictures, the virtual tour and the floor plan here. Or see it in person at this weekend’s open house on Sunday, Nov 22, from 1:00 to 3:00. Unit #3D: 4 bedrooms, 2 baths, 2600 square feet
Own Not Just One, But Two Parking Spaces in Old Town: 1542 N. HudsonThis 3-bedroom duplex down unit at 1542 N. Hudson in Old Town doesn’t have just one parking space it has two. The unit has hardwood throughout and the kitchen has stainless steel appliances and granite counter tops. It’s also a rare 3 bedroom 3 bath unit (as usually they are 3/2.) From the listing, it appears that the living room and kitchen are both on the lower level (along with one of the bedrooms) and the other two bedrooms are on the main level. Is this a steal for this price? Victoria Perryman at Coldwell Banker has the listing. See the pictures here (there are 16 of them- be sure to click all the way through). Unit #1: 3 bedrooms, 3 baths, no square footage listed, 2 car parking
Foreclosure Alert: Is River North the Better Deal? 33 W. OntarioWe’ve chattered about the distress sales at the Millennium Centre at 33 W. Ontario in River North numerous times before. This recently listed bank owned 50th floor 2-bedroom unit has unobstructed views, hardwood floors, cherry cabinets and granite countertops in the kitchen. From the pictures, it appears that the stainless steel appliances and the washer/dryer are still in the unit. And this price includes the parking. Given the recent auction at 1400 S. Michigan in the South Loop, could a foreclosure in River North actually be a better deal? This one is listed at $275 a square foot. Vincent Scott at Sudler Sotheby’s has the listing. See the pictures and a floorplan here. Unit #50D: 2 bedrooms, 2 baths, 1325 square feet
Live in the Shadow of Soldier Field in the South Loop: 1515 S. PrairieWe’ve been chattering quite a bit about the South Loop recently. This 2-bedroom corner unit at 1515 S. Prairie has been on the market since September 2009.
It is the lowest priced 2/2 in the building. It has city views, hardwood floors, and stainless steel appliances and granite countertops in the kitchen. The unit has been upgraded with granite in the master bathroom which also has a separate shower and jacuzzi tub. Would this make a good in-town residence?
Ricardo Jimenez at Prudential Rubloff has the listing. See more pictures and the virtual tour here. See the property website here. Unit #802: 2 bedrooms, 2 baths, no square footage listed
