Get a 3-Bedroom Duplex Loft in Printers Row for Just $350,000: 621 S. Plymouth
This 3-bedroom penthouse loft in the Moser Lofts at 621 S. Plymouth in Printers Row just came on the market.
The Moser Building was Holabird & Roche designed in 1909. It was converted into 88 lofts in 1985.
This loft has 16-foot concrete ceilings with west facing industrial windows and exposed brick.
It has hardwood floors throughout.
The kitchen has modern contemporary cabinets, stainless steel appliances and a large island that seats 4.
One of the bedrooms is on the main floor while the other two are in the upstairs loft.
It appears that there is one bathroom on the main level and a second on the loft level.
The unit has 2 walk-in closets on the main level.
The loft also has the features buyers look for including central air and washer/dryer in the unit.
It doesn’t appear to have parking, however, even though there is a garage in this building.
It’s been 14 years since this property last changed owners.
It’s rare to find a 3-bedroom loft under $400,000 in Printers Row.
Will it go under contract this week?

Suitable for midgets
And this is really a 0 bedroom as none of the bedrooms have even an open wall for natural light!
Granted all you do in a bedroom is sleep so who cares about windows but man…
LOVE the way the furnace duct runs right down the middle of that bedroom wall, halfway between the ceiling and the floor, heh.
But, that tiny little flaw aside, this really is a great place. Very spacious and attractive. I love a duplex loft, especially when it has a well-built staircase with a comfortable pitch that those who are no longer all that young and agile can handle.
HOA seems reasonable, but it does not include the heat, which could be a pretty large item. Taxes are really cheap.
Very good deal.
Also, the high school is Phillips (35th St.) not Jones. But that is another issue, of which Burns and Rahm don’t care about.
Small, small unit. 3 beds in 1,100 sq feet is one of the smallest we’ve seen here on cribchatter. at least the 3 bedroom 1,110 sq feet workers cottages have dormered attics and basements. this has none of that. and no bedrooms have windows, that’s a first on cc too.
“the high school is Phillips (35th St.) not Jones”
It is in the CTE preference area.
But, of course, Jones doesn’t have an attendance area. Must be someone who works with a certain someone who comments here.
Well it is a cool space but sleeping rooms seem to be set up a bit on the optimistic side. Imagine three fresh out of college roommates in this place. The bedrooms are tiny and right on top of each other. At least they have privacy sliders however there appear to be very limited closets on the upper floor.
To me having those bedrooms would be like solitary confinement. Our new house with it’s 15×15 master bedroom and 8′ ceilings is ample or large. Still initially I freaked out. Our old loft had a master that was 20×18 with 15 foot ceilings and a wall of huge windows. I’ve gotten used to it over time but there is no there is no way I’d sleep in one of those boxes.
That said $350K with no parking would be a challenge. Perhaps it could work at that price for a couple with no kids and no roommates.

Are you kidding? it’s perfect for a family with no car and wants to walk to all the cultural amenities in the city! Two small bedrooms for two kids and it’s “In the South Loop Elementary & Jones College Prep School Districts!” Why live in the suburbs when you can live in 1,100 sq feet in the city! In NYC this would be close to $1,000,000 – in the 1980’s! with this kind of location. Get real!!!!!1
CTE is open to only 75 students, that hardly meets the needs of families in the area. The other problem is that the preference area includes students who fit attendance for Wells, a much better school than Phillips, and much closer.
HD While I agree with the summary about family I’d say it is a stretch.
Who is this family with two kids and no car? Do they actually exist In Chicago? This is not Manhattan. Not even close!

3 different families have lived in this unit over the past 11 years. A Family of 4, a Family of 7 and a Family of 5. All three families loved living here. The children had the two rooms upstairs while mom and dad slept on the main level. If they had a car they rented from another owner in the building with a garage space to rent. It worked really well for all those that occupied it. Just 15 days on the market and property sold. Closed for $340,000 on 9/25/15.
“a Family of 7”
5 kids in those 2 bedrooms upstairs? Oh my.
Well, those families didn’t stay long. This space would be best for a single person. I have a tad more square footage than this place and I can’t imagine sharing it with another person, let along 6 other people!

so much does not compute with these statements
