Is This a Deal? 3110 N. Sheridan in Lakeview
It’s not often you find a spacious 2/2 in East Lakeview with parking for under $300,000 but there’s one on the market at 3110 N. Sheridan.
The listing says it’s an “unbelieveable value.”
Is it?
It apparently was a one bedroom that was combined with a studio unit. Hence, the very large bedroom sizes:
- Bedroom 1: 19 x 17
- Bedroom 2: 11 x 15
- Living room: 21 x 10
Cyd Archer at Coldwell Banker has the listing.
Unit #1710: 2 bedrooms, 2 baths, no square footage given
- Sold in March 1990 for $220,000
- Sold in September 1998 for $135,000
- Sold in July 2002 for $237,000
- Currently listed for $285,000 (parking included)
- Assessments of $626 a month
- Taxes are $1,836
- No central air- window units
- I don’t believe there is w/d in the unit
This strikes me as a deeply depressing building. Cheaply finished, ugly, and in need of continual repair because of poor construction. I lease a parking space in it–cramped with alarmingly low ceilings. I’d want to be paid to live here.
It’s not a great or beautiful building, but this place is a lot of space for a very modest amount of money in a prime area.
It seems cheap relative to the 1990 price. Are there any up and coming special assessments, I wonder?
Did anyone notice the assessment cost; no central air either?? NO WAY … this place is ugly!
They are at least 50K over priced. I have a current 1BR on that block under contract and have had a listing this year. 299 for a 1BR in that area, no parking, some upgrading… not a chance.
Didnt see that parking included. OK, still 50K over priced.
assessments must include heat; see the units on the wall
oops. i mean the baseboard heating units, not the a/c
I can’t get past the 10×21 foot living room. A game of bowling, anyone?
Rooms with windows on only one short end of a 10 X 21 room are deadly. This unit seems to have windows along one long end for the living/dining room. Not the best room size, but better than a cave.
maybe we should see it before judging it based on 2 pictures. and what’s wrong with a studio and 1 bedroom put together? seems like a good idea to me and lots of space!
