Six Years Later, 5-Bedroom Queen Anne Finally Sells: 1935 N. Lincoln in Lincoln Park
We last chattered about this 5-bedroom Queen Anne at 1935 N. Lincoln in Lincoln Park in August 2011.
See our prior chatter here.
Off and on the market for 6 years (!) it had been reduced about $1 million from its original 2005 list price of $2.229 million. It was also listed for $555,000 under the 2003 price and the listing called it “positively the best deal” in Old Town/Lincoln Park.
Most of you thought it was a deal even though it was on busy Lincoln and near some bars.
Apparently, someone else did as well as it finally sold in October 2011 for $1.15 million.
If you recall, the listing said the house had been renovated. The kitchen had custom cabinets, granite counter tops and stainless steel appliances.
It had 12 foot ceilings and a rooftop deck. 3 bedrooms and a den were on the second floor with the master bedroom on the 3rd floor.
The home also had skylights and 2 fireplaces.
Built on a 24×125 lot, it had central air and a 2-car garage.
Todd Trawinski at Prudential Rubloff had the listing. You can still see the interior pictures here.

This is actually a Second Empire Victorian Style more than a true Queen Anne.
Damn…Icarus studying up on his architectural styles. Well played (and you’re correct).
Looks like this is an example of money lost in a higher priced home in LP. Nice house
I find it really ugly inside.
It took me a long time to realize that Georgian meant King George and not Georgia, USA. (I never could figure out how southern US houses got built in Dublin, etc.)
What did you think Victorian mean? Posh Spice?

“What did you think Victorian mean? Posh Spice?”
Better question is: Where did “Georgia” come from? George Washington?
“I find it really ugly inside.”
Agreed… and I think the sales price reflects that. Aside from the interior, the building is a stunner from the street and even though it is on Lincoln, the location is phenomenal.
“Phenominal” location? Well, to each his own, but personally I find that Lincoln/Wells/Armitage bottleneck to be among the least desirable locations on the North Side.
“…personally I find that Lincoln/Wells/Armitage bottleneck to be among the least desirable locations on the North Side.”
I’m not a big fan of that area, particularly the spot where this house sits, mainly because of its immediate proximity to young renters/keg parties/etc. But the location, in general terms, is pretty nice. And I can think of vast expanses of the North Side that are far, far less desirable than this spot.
“Well, to each his own, but personally I find that Lincoln/Wells/Armitage bottleneck to be among the least desirable locations on the North Side.”
Bottleneck? Try Elston, Diversey Damen….This location is not bad at all.
“Lincoln/Wells/Armitage” and “Elston/Diversey/Damen” are bottlenecks???
Neither of those two are even intersections.
